Theme for 2024

Walking + Knowing

The theme for this year’s prize reflects the concept of understanding landscape through immersion, observation, connection, and deep listening in order to gain knowledge of a place.

It can also be true that the knowledge learnt is of the self – the personal geography, therefore the theme is not limited to the classic landscape.
