30 Contemporary Collection + Print Draw

In an unprecedented move, 50 fabulous framed photographs were each up for raffle at the Gallery of Photography’s 30th anniversary exhibition. With superb works from fifty photographers – world-famous, established and breakthrough talents – there was something to suit everyone. Signed black-and-white classics, breathtaking landscapes, quirky portraits, important vintage prints...

Ticket sales were limited to just 500, so with 50 draws, each ticket had a great chance of winning!

30 Grand Draw Evening: Following the 50 individual draws, all tickets were entered into our Grand Draw for superb framed photographic prints by Anthony Haughey, Jackie Nickerson and Harry Thuillier Jnr. These prints represent the perfect starter collection for anyone with an interest in contemporary photography. Many of the winners took their framed prints home on the night of the draw.

Winners: Individual winners names appear in the online gallery beneath the picture they won in the draw.
