Since its inception in 1993, the Prix Photoforum has established itself as one of the leading platforms for photography and visual arts in Switzerland. Each year, Photoforum Pasquart invites photographers and artists to submit their works and become part of an inspiring community. This community aims to push creative boundaries and foster new perspectives in photography.

The Prix Photoforum is an annual competition that recognizes outstanding new works and encourages artists to share their creative visions across a broad spectrum of photographic media—from documentary photography and conceptual works to multimedia installations. Each year, ten to fifteen exceptional artists are selected to present their works at the Photoforum. During the exhibition, the Portfolio Day offers a unique opportunity for participants to receive direct feedback from an expert panel from the fields of art, photography, and publishing. Additionally, one outstanding entry is honored with a prize of 5,000 CHF.
