CREDITS
The Meitar Award for Excellence in Photography, a collaboration between PHOTO IS:RAEL and the Zvi and Ofra Meitar Family Fund, will be awarded for the sixth time this year to a photographer whose works demonstrate excellence in the field of photography.
A professional panel of judges will review all award finalists and will select a photographer who demonstrates thought, quality, originality, and excellence in photography, as well as the potential to create a comprehensive body of work suitable for a solo exhibition.
Of the works submitted, the jury will select 20 finalists for a group exhibition at the International Photography Festival, which will take place in November 2021 in Tel Aviv.
The winner will be announced in November 2021, during the 9th International Photography Festival. The award winner will receive a $14,000 grant, composed of a personal grant of $2,500, curatorial guidance, and the production of a solo exhibition that will be part of the 2022 International Photography Festival.
