Every two years, a professional female photographer of any nationality who is still alive is eligible to win the Virginia Prize. There is no age restriction. It costs nothing to register for the Virginia Prize. Press photos and images from advertising orders are unaffected. Images that are entered for the Virginia Prize cannot have been shown in a French exhibition. It’s possible, though, that the artist has already shown other pieces in France.
