In this year’s competition, MassArt second-year MFA student Anastasia Sierra placed 3rd, and recent alum Chloe Ronco (BFA ’24 Photography) earned a Juror’s Pick, highlighting the strength of emerging photographers connected to Massachusetts College of Art and Design.

Chosen by an international jury of curators, editors, and photography professionals, the winners, jurors’ picks, and finalists represent a wide spectrum of voices, ideas, and global perspectives. Their work not only demonstrates technical mastery and creative courage but also resonates with the urgent cultural, social, and artistic conversations of our time.
