Humber Portrait Prize 2026
The Humber Portrait Prize showcases the work of talented photographers, gifted amateurs and established professionals in the very best of contemporary photography.
The competition celebrates a diverse range of images and tells the fascinating stories behind the creation of works, from formal commissioned portraits to more spontaneous and intimate moments capturing friends and family. The selected images, many of which are on display for the first time, explore both traditional and contemporary approaches to the photographic portrait whilst capturing a range of characters, moods and locations.
Open and student categories.
