The Virginia Prize is awarded by the Sylvia S. Association to a woman photographer.
It is awarded in accordance with the following rules:
It has been awarded every other year since 2012, and is open to all living women photographers, without regard to their nationality or the subject matter of their work. Work done for commercial advertising or as an editorial assignment for an article will not be accepted. Photos submitted to the Virginia Prize should not have been exhibited in France. However, the artist may have already exhibited other works in France. Photographers should enter a body of work which they consider complete. The prize is not intended to finance the completion or the exhibition of a body of photographic work. The prize is free of cost.
The Jury is composed of eight members who deliberate and nominate the winner. The jury consists of 8 recognized specialists working in the field of visual arts. Most or all the members of the jury change with each prize year, except for the President.
The photographers may apply directly or other professional experts (photo editors, gallery owners, photo agents, and such) may apply for them. The Jury’s discussions and deliberations are private and reserved to Jury members. The President of the Jury chairs the discussion in the Jury and also has a vote. The Jury has the power to resolve any questions not already covered by these rules. In any given year, the Jury may also decide that none of the works submitted meets the criteria required and that therefore they will not award a prize.
Besides the prize winner, the Jury also names as many as 10 other contenders whose photographic work they believe to be of particular value.
The photographer who wins the prize cannot enter again at a later date, but all the other contestants are welcome to apply for the Virginia Prize again.
