PLATFORM PHOTOGRAPHY AWARD

 

NOW OPEN: SUBMIT YOUR WORK TO OUR 2018 AWARD

Hannah Doucet was the winner of our inaugural 2017 PLATFORM Photography Award. This award includes a solo exhibition in Gallery 2, $1000, darkroom access and a one-year membership to PLATFORM. The jury was excited by Doucet’s inquisitive and engaged practice, one that probes photography and the human condition in equal measure.

Doucet’s show in Gallery 2 was I wondered when my body would deflate, and took place from 02–24 March, 2018.
