Short description
Presented by the Benrido Collotype Atelier, the Hariban Award International Collotype Competition 2022 now is opened for entries!
The Hariban Award combines a 160-year-old analogue technique with the new vision of digital-age photography and is open to all photographers working in black and white only.
Established in 1887, Benrido has specialised in the unique printing technique known as Collotype and today remains as one of only a few studios left in the world capable of making fine colour collotype prints.
About Collotype
Collotype is an alternative printing process that was invented in 1855 by the French engineer Alphonse Poitevin as a method for photographic fine art printing. Photographic prints of the 19th century had poor image preservability, and over time gradually faded and discoloured. To compensate for this, various printing methods using pigments were devised, one of the established techniques among them was collotype.
Who may enter?
The competition is only open to photographers working in black and white, professionals and amateurs alike.

The Grand Prize Winner receives a two-week residency in Kyoto, Japan to collaborate with the master printer’s of Benrido.
