Now in its 14th edition, the BNL BNP Paribas Award is granted to the best artist among 15 finalists showcased at the fair. The winning work is acquired by the Bank, joining its prestigious collection of approximately 6,000 pieces, reinforcing its commitment to supporting talent and promoting photography in Italy.

The 2025 winning artwork is "Serrafina at Table" by Nick Brandt, presented by WILLAS contemporary - Stockholm.

The jury recognized Brandt’s work for its powerful reflection on climate change.

A woman, seated at a table underwater, embodies an unsettling sense of normalcy, creating a stark contrast with the urgency of the environmental crisis. Through art and photography, the image urges contemplation on the profound transformations of our time, in a world undergoing continuous change.
