The International Center of Photography’s Infinity Awards honor outstanding achievements in photography and visual arts. In 2023, we recognize artists working in photojournalism, contemporary photography, new media, and critical writing, research, and theory. All proceeds from the Infinity Awards directly benefit ICP’s education and exhibition programs, providing critical funding for the entire institution.
