Jury Panel
The Eyes Behind the Selection
At F/262, we believe every submission deserves thoughtful consideration. That’s why we’re assembling a diverse international jury made up of leading photographers, curators, editors, and educators to review all entries for the F/262 Photography Award and the Curated Projects & Series selection.
Our juries bring together expertise from different fields to ensure a fair and inspiring review process.
Why a Jury Matters
The jury plays a critical role in shaping the F/262 program. Through discussion, debate, and a shared commitment to photographic excellence, they help identify work that deserves wider recognition.
Selections are made based on:
Artistic and conceptual strength
Relevance to contemporary photography
Technical execution
Originality and voice
The ability to resonate with wider audiences
