Judges

The Prix Pictet will be judged by an internationally recognised panel of experts led by Francis Hodgson, Head of Photographs at Sotheby's. Other members of the judging panel are Richard Misrach, the American artist, Abbas Kiarostami, the Iranian film director, Régis Durand, President of Paris Photo and former head of the Jeu de Paume, Loa Haagen Pictet, Pictet & Cie's art consultant, Peter Aspden, the Financial Times' Arts Writer, and Leo Johnson Co-Founder, Sustainable Finance.

The Judging Panel is looking for photographs which best contribute to public awareness of issues involving sustainability. The subject matter is not tightly defined, nor is the technique used by the photographer. The judges will simply be looking for original contributions which shall, in their opinion, best use the resources of photography to communicate issues concerning the topic of water. No distinction shall be made between artistic merit and success in communicating the message.
