Portrait of Britain Shortlisted and Winning Images Announced

1854 Media and British Journal of Photography are pleased to announce the 200 shortlisted and 100 winning images for this year's Portrait of Britain

In the wake of Brexit and the midst of the coronavirus crisis, Portrait of Britain 2020 -- the fifth anniversary of the national photography award -- celebrates the many faces of modern Britain at a truly momentous time in our history.

Set to comprise one of the largest exhibitions of contemporary portrait photography ever held in the UK, the winning portraits have been selected by industry-leading judges including Simon Bainbridge, Editorial Director of British Journal of Photography, Martin Usbourne, Co-Founder of Hoxton Mini Press and Parveen Narowalia, Digital Picture Editor at British Vogue.

The exhibition will launch on JCDecaux UK's nationwide network of digital Out-of-Home screens on Sept. 1, displaying the 100 winning images throughout the month in rail stations and shopping malls, on high streets and digital bus shelter screens and beyond. For the first time, the campaign will be displayed programmatically via the Scoota DSP & VIOOH Exchange. Programmatic Digital Out-of-Home will enable the winning portraits to be broadcast efficiently across the country, at moments that matter, to the communities they matter to.

The 200 shortlisted images will be published in the Portrait of Britain book, Vol. 3, published by Hoxton Mini Press and distributed worldwide from Oct. 1.
