Voting is now open for the Shutter Hub OPEN 2026’s Best In Show!

From 19 January – 02 April 2026, the Shutter Hub OPEN 2026 is bringing together 120 international photographers in a selected exhibition promoting the future of photography through diverse and creative imagery – taking over four floors of the ARB building at Cambridge University, transforming the space and covering the walls with hundreds of images printed by our favourite newspaper print partners Newspaper Club.

The ‘Best in Show’ is much more about audience participation than it is about big prizes, but it’s a fun and engaging way to involve more people in responding to photography – and we want to hear from you!

If you’ve explored the exhibition, or are planning your visit soon (don’t forget to RSVP for the private view on 24 January!) , make sure you cast a vote for your favourite photograph from the exhibition.

Head to the ‘Apply’ tab at the top of this page to let us know which image in this year’s Shutter Hub OPEN is your favourite!
