The School of Media Arts and Design (ESMAD) at the Polytechnic Institute of Porto (P.PORTO) has launched the John Goto Prize in honor of the innovative photographer and artist John Goto. His groundbreaking work has contributed to reshaping photography as a means of social commentary and cultural critique.

  
The competition is aimed at higher education students in the visual arts (photography, video, cinema, digital arts, multimedia, design, plastic arts), with innovative approaches that use photography and/or other areas mentioned above as a means of reflecting on contemporary issues. 

The competition foresees the selection of 4 exhibition or installation proposals, individual or collective, by a selection jury composed of recognized artists and researchers.

  
The exhibitions, which will present the selected works, will be open to the public on a date to be defined, in the exhibition spaces of the P. PORTO universe and public institutions with agreements with ESMAD.

  
The authors whose proposals are selected will receive a grant for support and production, within the context of the exhibitions, amounting to €1500 (one thousand five hundred euros).
