The Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation Prize is awarded annually by the Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation and the Photographers' Gallery to a photographer who has made the most significant contribution to the photographic medium in Europe during the past year.
The prize was set up in 1996 by the Photographers' Gallery, London. From 1997 to 2004 it was called the Citigroup Photography Prize or Citibank Private Bank Photography Prize.[1] Deutsche Börse has sponsored the competition since 2005, with a £30,000 prize. At that point it became the Deutsche Börse Photography Prize. It was renamed the Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation Prize in 2016 to reflect its new position within the a specifically established non-profit organisation.
It has been described as "the biggest of its kind in photography in Europe" and "the most prestigious".[2]
