2023 Shortlist

The juries of the Felix Schoeller Photo Award have put these works on the shortlist. The winners and nominees will be selected from them at the final jury meetings on 03/17/2023. As the jury members do not know the names and origins of the submitting photographers, we will not publish the names of the shortlisted candidates until after the jury meetings.
