For its 4th edition, the Viviane Esders Prize wish to strengthen the European dimension of the Prize by creating a network of nominators. The nominators are a group of European renowned experts in the field of photography interested in discovering and supporting lesser-known artists. They help us to search photographers in all Europe countries. Viviane Esders and the prize team thank them for their commitment in supporting a whole generation of photographers.
