The Austrian Cultural Forum London has announced the return of the Wolf Suschitzky Photography Prize for its fourth edition. They invite submissions from photographers based in Austria and the UK on the theme of “All the world’s a stage.” Inspired by this line from Shakespeare’s play As You Like It, we were moved by Wolf Suschitzky’s ability to capture the human experience. With his camera, he documented and found beauty in both universal and personal moments.

An international jury will select two winners—one based in Austria and one in the UK—who will each receive a 10-day residency in the partner country, a cash prize of €500, and an exhibition at the Austrian Cultural Forum in 2025 and FOTOHOF Salzburg in 2026.

Eight shortlisted artists will also be invited to participate in exhibitions in London and Salzburg.

The prize, which celebrates and reflects Wolf Suschitzky’s strong connection to both his land of birth and his chosen home, is presented in partnership with FOTOHOF Salzburg and with the generous support of the Federal Ministry for Arts, Culture, the Civil Service and Sport of the Republic of Austria.

This prize is free to enter.

Eligibility: Austria or UK-based photographers, aged 18 and over.

What you get: The jury will select two winners. The Austrian winner will be offered a 10-day residency in London and the UK winner will receive a residency in Vienna/Salzburg, supported by the Austrian Federal Ministry for Arts, Culture, the Civil Service and Sport, and FOTOHOF Salzburg. In addition to the residency, both winners will receive a cash prize of €500 and be invited to participate in dedicated exhibitions at the Austrian Cultural Forum London in 2025 and at FOTOHOF Salzburg in 2026.
