POPCAP the piclet.org Prize for Contemporary African Photography is very happy to announce its short list of 20 artists for its fifth anniversary edition. The finalists were selected from 900 applicants from 94 countries by a panel of 20 internationally-sourced judges. The five prize winners will be announced on March 7 2016.

POPCAP aims to raise the profile of African photography within the arts and encourage a generally rethinking of the image of Africa. Every year five winners are selected by an internationally-sourced panel of judges, enabling the promotion of African photograph worldwide. It is important to us that the judging panel be diverse, as this helps us to avoid geographically and culturally one-sided views of the portfolios. POPCAP is open to artists of any age and descent. Photographic series must consist of a minimum of 10 images, and may not exceed 25 images. There is no entry fee.
