Jury
The Prix Pictet 2009 will be judged by an internationally recognised panel of experts led by Francis Hodgson Photography Critic, Financial Times and the former Head of Photographs, Sotheby’s. Other members of the judging panel are Loa Haagen Pictet, Pictet & Cie's art consultant; Jan Dalley, the Financial Times' Arts Editor; Benoit Aquin, Winner of Prix Pictet 2008; Professor Sir David King Director, Smith School of Enterprise and Environment, University of Oxford and former Chief Scientific Adviser to the UK Government; and Fumio Nanjo, Director, Mori Art Museum, Tokyo.
The Jury 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 that will, in their opinion, best use the resources of photography to communicate issues concerning the topic of earth. No distinction shall be made between artistic merit and success in communicating the message.
