The winner of the 2025 William & Winifred Bowness photography prize – now in its 20th year – is a work by Anna Higgins. Judge Anna Zahalka said: ‘The stand-out work … is a poetic evocation on the Australian landscape, where layers of archival and captured moving images are melded with great sensitivity through her observations of light and atmosphere’
