📸 Last chance!

Today is the final day to see the South West Graduate Photography Prize 2025 at our brand-new space: 107 Cornwall Street, Plymouth, PL1 1PA. We’re open 11am-4pm and entry is completely free.

Come by, explore the work of this year’s exceptional graduates, and make a day of it by enjoying the fantastic independent businesses in Plymouth’s West End.

A huge thank-you to everyone who helped make this year’s show possible. After 15 years of running the prize in London, it’s been a joy to bring the exhibition to Plymouth and begin reimagining how we support emerging photographers from degree courses across the South West.

✨ Don’t miss your chance to experience these powerful photography series in person!

The opening night of the South West Graduate Photography Prize 2025 brought over 100 people down to 107 Cornwall Street on Friday 28th November to celebrate the work of this year’s selected artists: Alice Poyser, Daisy Davis, Dan Bowhay, Ellie Applegate, Emrys Thurgood, Max Pattenden, Tess Mounsey and Woody New.

It was great to see the space buzzing with conversation throughout the evening as people enjoyed the work, congratulations to all the artists in this sixteenth year of the prize!

For our team here at Fotonow, the night also marked the first public event in our new base at 107 Cornwall Street and it meant a great deal to us to see so many friends and familiar faces enjoying themselves!

The South West Graduate Photography Prize is on show until Saturday 6th December, open 11am-4pm - do come down and see the excellent work if you get the chance!
