JURY PRIZE 2025
This year’s Jury Prize was awarded to photo artist Verdiana Albano for her work “i ain’t from no east cast.” Congratulations!
“The Jury Prize goes to Verdiana Albano for her work I ain’t from no east coast – she impressed the jury with her powerful and multi-layered exploration of questions of identity, origin, and visibility. The combination of documentary and staged photography, archive material, self-portraits, and installation elements creates an ambiguous space for reflection that interweaves personal narratives with social relevance.” (Laudator Prof. Andrea Diefenbach, University of the Arts Bremen)
AUDIENCE AWARD 2025
Arez Ghaderi wins the audience award at the 13th Wiesbaden Photo Days with his work “Hello Italy.” Congratulations!
The Wiesbaden Photo Days team would like to thank the audience for this statement at a time when the issue of migration is dividing society into different camps, even splitting it apart and opening the door to populist movements.
A big THANK YOU to Sabine Philipp from sam – Stadtmuseum am Markt for her wonderful laudatory speech. And another big THANK YOU to prize donor Daniel Oschatz, managing director of Oschatz Visuelle Medien in Niedernhausen.
