The Snider Prize is a purchase award given to emerging artists as they leave graduate school. Our curatorial staff will select an artist and offer $1000 for the purchase of work to be added to its permanent collection.
The award forms a part of the museum’s ongoing commitment to support new talent in the field of contemporary photography. The Snider Prize is sponsored by MoCP patrons Lawrence K. and Maxine Snider.
