The RBSA Photography Prize 2025 invites artists creating work using photographic processes to enter work. This is the sixth RBSA Photography Prize exhibition to be held.

We welcome entries from professional and emerging artists based locally, nationally, and internationally. There are five prizes to be won, including £1,000 First Prize, £500 Second Prize, £250 Third Prize, £250 Student Prize, and a 2026 RBSA Gallery Solo Show Prize. Up to six highly commended certificates will also be awarded.

Selection for the Photography Prize is by digital image of the original artwork only. All works entered go through the same anonymous selection process. The selection is based on the assessment of the quality and interest of each work.

The exhibition will be opened by renowned Birmingham based photographer, Vanley Burke at the Private View on Thursday 27 February from 6.00pm – 8.00pm.

Selecting the 2025 exhibition will be:

  • Sebah Chaudhry – Trustee at the Royal Photographic Society

  • Nicholas Priest – Lecturer in Photography at Birmingham City University

  • Verity Milligan – award-winning photographer

Since its first introduction in 2015, the biennial RBSA Photography Prize has grown significantly, attracting increased submissions with each exhibition held.

Expanded for the second time to fill both gallery spaces, the 2025 show is a celebration of artwork produced by both established and emerging photographers. This year’s exhibition is also the second to be held since the decision was made to admit photography into the Society in October 2022.x
