“KG＋SELECT” is an award branch within “KG＋” which kicked off in 2019 as an open competition for photographers around the world. 10 artists are selected by judges and given exhibition space, and aid with setting up their own exhibition. For 1 month, whilst they are exhibiting their work, internationally renowned judges choose 1 out of the 10 artists as the winner of the KG＋ Awards 2024 Winner. The winner will be awarded a subsidy to hold an exhibition at KYOTOGRAPHIE the following year in 2025. “KG＋SELECT” attracts widespread media attention giving artists the opportunity to join the KYOTOGRAPHIE community, and promotes the development of promising artists.
