The TOTO Awards for Photography, which were inaugurated in 2008 in association with Tasveer, have applauded photographers who have evoked mood, told stories, documented important histories or practices, and extended the medium to include texts, graphics and other interventions in the space of the image. The jurors for these awards, which are given for a thematically connected series of photographs, comprise established photographers, curators, critics, architects and leaders of prominent photography organisations.
An update from TFA
[26/08/2026]
This year (2027), we are taking a pause from the annual Toto Awards across all categories.
The ways artists create, work, learn and connect are constantly evolving. We’re using this year to consider how TFA can respond to these changes and continue to make a difference to the artists we support.
While there will be no awards this year, we look forward to sharing more as we continue this process. Stay connected with TFA for updates.
