TORONTO — Vancouver artist Ken Lum has won the Scotiabank Photography Award.
In addition to $50,000, the honor nets the photographer a solo exhibition at the Scotiabank Contact Photography Festival in 2024 and a published book of his work, to be distributed worldwide.
Prize organizers say Lum uses his art to express his dissatisfaction with the world.
Laura Curtis Ferrera, Scotiabank’s chief marketing officer, says Lum’s works have “inspired a global audience,” including through permanent public art installations.
Runners-up Sandra Brewster and Chris Currieri, who are both from Toronto, will each receive $10,000.
