\n\tLONDON \u2014 <\/strong>Belmond, the luxury travel company and brand owned by LVMH Mo\u00ebt Hennessy Louis Vuitton, on Tuesday unveiled the jury lineup for its 2026 Belmond Photo Award, an annual, jury-led prize championing new perspectives in travel photography.<\/p>\n \n\tFormerly known as the Belmond Photography Residency, the award is open to early-career artists and received more than 2,000 applications this year.<\/p>\n \n\tThis year\u2019s jury brings together Aperture executive director Sarah Meister\u2019s curatorial eye, leading voices in photography from Tyler Mitchell and Chris Rhodes, and a Belmond perspective from Arnaud Champenois, senior vice president of brand marketing and communication at the company.<\/p>\n \n\tThey will meet in New York this week to judge the award and decide on a winner, who will be revealed during Paris Photo next week. The winner will receive a residency at a Belmond property and financial support to create a new body of work.<\/p>\n \n\tJonathan Openshaw, Belmond\u2019s global brand and content director, said when the brand launched the award three years ago, it was a way to \u201cshow support for emerging artists and new voices.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cWe were really blown away by the reception to the program, and it\u2019s rapidly grown to well over 2,000 quality applications this year. The jury is a key part of this success, drawn from Belmond\u2019s wide network in the field,\u201d he said, adding that getting strong external voices from curators, editors or photographers \u201creally push the award into new areas.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tBlue Bushell, Belmond\u2019s global brand and art director, also noted that the award seeks a photographer whose work offers \u201ca distinctive point of view that reveals something moving and unexpected about a place.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThe jurors, she said, help champion talent while supporting the craft of photography.<\/p>\n \n\tThe jury announcement comes as Belmond is hosting a separate New York cultural event: a preview and book launch on Tuesday at the new Aperture space for \u201cSplendido, A Belmond Hotel, Portofino,\u201d photographed by Rhodes.<\/p>\n \n\tThe award and Rhodes\u2019 book project are not linked, though both form part of Belmond\u2019s cultural programming in the city this week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n LONDON \u2014 Belmond, the luxury travel company and brand owned by LVMH Mo\u00ebt Hennessy Louis Vuitton, on Tuesday unveiled the jury lineup for its 2026 Belmond Photo Award, an annual, jury-led prize…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":168,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-167","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest-stories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wom.beauty\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/167","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wom.beauty\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wom.beauty\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wom.beauty\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wom.beauty\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=167"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wom.beauty\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/167\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wom.beauty\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/168"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wom.beauty\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=167"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wom.beauty\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=167"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wom.beauty\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=167"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
