THE WINNERS 2015

The winners of Renaissance Photography Prize 2015 were announced at the awards ceremony at Getty Images Gallery, London, UK in November last year. From thousands of entries the judges selected 6 strong winners, including the two main prize winners Conor Clarke (Germany) and Juliana Kasumu (UK).

In addition to winning cash prizes, printing from Metro Imaging, mentoring from Getty Images, portfolio reviews, memberships and subscriptions, Renaissance Photography Prize teamed up with HOTSHOE last year to offer an opportunity to a selected photographer to get featured in the magazine. Melissa Dewitt from HOTSHOE announced the selected photographer to be Miho Kajioka.
