About

The Photographique Analogue Award is our first open call since 2015. This time things are a little different, we are accepting submissions for analogue photography only. Film is back, and some say it never left, we are thrilled to accept work internationally from all that love film photography and analogue processes. From professional photographers to students. We are excited to highlight the very best analogue photography and look forward to receiving your submissions!

Photographique opened in Bristol in early 2008 with the aim of providing a professional and personal experience for photographers. An independent lab to get film developed and high quality prints made. 10 years on we have moved locations and changed our look but our passion for film photography and photographic processes is stronger than ever! With the evolution of the company we have built up a community of student, professional and amateur photographers.

We are pleased to announce we will be working with some very talented judges from different areas of the photographic and creative industry including; Director and Photographer Esther May-Campbell, Editor of TEAL Magazine Jaicel Asegurado, Curator at Arnolfini Benjamin Thomas and Photographer Naomi Wood.

The winner will receive a cash prize of £500, and a solo article printed in TEAL magazine. Shortlisted entrants and the winner will take part in a travelling group exhibition.
