For four years, Textile Exchange has been running a photography competition in partnership with Magnum Photos. The annual competition invites emerging visual storytellers to explore the narratives that unfold when fibers and materials are cultivated, created, spun, woven, sewn, loved, and cherished \u2013 gaining cultural and emotional significance through the journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\t

THEME<\/h6>\n

Exploring the connections behind clothes<\/h2>\n

Our 2025 competition called on photographers to explore the way we transform textiles, and how textiles in turn transform us.<\/p>\n

Clothing and textiles connect us intrinsically to our planet and its many ecosystems, cultures, and communities. The materials used to make them come from farms, forests, or even oil from the earth \u2013 passing through many pairs of hands, transformed each time before they become the final product that we buy.<\/p>\n

BACKGROUND<\/h6>\n

Placing textiles at the <\/span>center<\/span> of the story<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

In partnership with Magnum Photos, our annual photography competition invites photographers to document the people, places, culture, and nature behind the finished products.<\/span><\/p>\n

The initiative hopes to reframe the way we relate to their social, cultural, and environmental implications. It is about altering our attitude towards these everyday items, all while providing a springboard for emerging talent to embrace a more human approach to visual storytelling.<\/span><\/p>\n

2025 WINNER<\/h6>\n

Pierre Girardin<\/h2>\n

Based in Marseille, France, Pierre Girardin is particularly drawn to the craftsmanship, ancestral knowledge, and evolving traditions that represent the deep relationship between communities and their environments. His winning entry follows the wool ecosystem in Morocco, from its nomadic producers to the talented craftspeople transforming the fiber. He starts with shepherds and livestock breeders in the Siroua region, documenting how climate change has led to water shortages and a lack of grazing land. His lens captures both the challenges of survival and the resilience of local cooperatives working to revive wool in traditional crafts.<\/p>\n

This takes him to a small village in Morocco\u2019s Anti-Atlas region, inhabited mostly by women. It is known for weaving woolen veils and painting them using henna as a natural dye. While these women have historically been rendered invisible by craft merchants, Girardin shines a light on the weavers and the mastery they have over their craft.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

2025 Runner Up<\/h6>\n

Cec\u00edlia Bueno<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Hailing from Brazil, Bueno is a photographer and filmmaker whose work connects gesture, land, and time into visual narratives. Her winning photo series documents communities of agroecological farmers in the Borborema Plateau in the semi-arid highlands of Para\u00edba, Brazil. The project follows the full cycle of organic cotton, from the sowing of ancestral seeds to the harvest, when the fields fill with what they call \u201cwhite gold.\u201d<\/p>\n

Agroecological farmers aim to restore balance to ecosystems while honoring traditional knowledge, through ancestral practices such as spinning, weaving and harvesting. By centering the narrative on those who grow cotton and their deep ties to the land, Bueno set out to shift the gaze from the final product in the fashion chain to the human, ecological, and emotional paths that precede it.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

2024 winner<\/h6>\n

Alejandra Orosco<\/h2>\n

Last year, the third edition of our annual competition saw 356 photographers from 64 countries submit over 6,000 photographs exploring how textiles transform people, places, cultures, and nature.<\/p>\n

Overall winner Alejandra Orosco shares the story of the women seeking to bring back natural indigo to the town of Chinchero, Peru.<\/p>\n

Based in Cusco, Peru, Orosco\u2019s work explores identity, colonization, and untold stories, encouraging viewers to appreciate distant realities while finding common ground with their own. Her winning project, Sue\u00f1o en Azul (A Dream in Blue), documents the possible impact of climate change and colonization on Andean textile culture, focusing on the indigo blue plant.<\/p>\n

Used in the traditional textiles of the pre-Inca town of Chinchero, indigo has since disappeared from the country. Orosco\u2019s work follows the journey of a group of Indigenous women working to revive its cultivation amid economic and environmental pressures, seeking to reconnect with their heritage by growing the plant on their land once again.<\/p>\n

2024 runner up<\/h6>\n

Priyadarshini Ravichandran<\/h2>\n

2024 competition runner-up Priyadarshini Ravichandran’s entry highlighted the disappearance of Indigenous desi<\/em> cotton varieties in the village of Wardha, India.<\/p>\n

Born in Tamil Nadu, India, Ravichandran is a documentary photographer and artist whose work focuses on women, their lives, and the land. Her project \u201cWardha\u201d documents the Indian village of the same name that holds historical significance as Mahatma Gandhi’s adopted home. Here, Gandhi envisioned a decentralized future, promoting hand-spun Indigenous desi<\/em> cotton to uplift farmers and households.<\/p>\n

However, today Wardha reflects the harsh realities of industrialization and corporate farming, with chemical-intensive cotton monoculture leading to health issues and escalating farmer debt. Through her lens, Ravichandran uncovers the remnants of Gandhi’s vision, exploring the enduring connection between the people and their land.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEach year, the competition winner and runner up is commissioned to document a story about material production for Textile Exchange. We seek out projects with sustainability at their core, showing the beauty that arises when people and ecosystems are put first.

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAfter winning the 2024 competition, Alejandra Orosco’s commission saw her travel high into the Peruvian highlands to meet Evelyn Diaz, a Responsible Alpaca Standard-certified farmer and advocate. Evelyn carries forward her family\u2019s 40-year legacy at Fundo El Nevado in Puno. She was the first woman in her village to pursue a professional career in veterinary medicine and now works to improve animal welfare, implement innovative ideas for herd management, and empower female alpaca farmers.

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOriginally from Hong Kong and raised in Canada, Kin Chan Coedel\u2019s work is all about co-creating images that reflect authentic stories and prioritizing genuine exchanges with local communities. As the winner of the 2023 competition, Coedel was commissioned to visit a fourth-generation merino wool farm in Tasmania, Australia. The photographs, captured during the shearing season, offer a glimpse into the life of farmer Julian von Bibra, whose family has cared for the land for generations. Through his lens, Coedel explores a rising movement among wool growers committed to preserving what is left of the local area\u2019s natural heritage \u2014 from safeguarding native grasslands to monitoring endangered species \u2014 as they work towards a resilient collective future.

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAnass Ouaziz was born in Marrakech and raised in Beni Mellal. He has long found the sublime in the mundane \u200beven before he became a photographer back in 2015. \u200bOuaziz considers photography to be an exercise in observation, and that stories emerge by simply paying attention. For him what comes out from these seemingly insignificant moments is a celebration of the beauty of \u200bthe everyday. The extraordinary in the ordinary.
\r\n
\r\nAs our 2022 winner, Ouaziz joined Textile Exchange to visit the B\u00fcy\u00fck Menderes River Basin in T\u00fcrkiye. He documented how cotton farming is impacting the area\u2019s rich biodiversity and how regenerative practices can integrate local farmers into an agricultural system that gives back to nature instead.

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCecilie Nicoline Rasmussen is currently living and working in Copenhagen. Danish by nationality, she grew up in Oman, where she relied on observing body language and tiny details of her surroundings to interact in a different cultural discourse. Through this and looking at family albums of people back home, is how she became fascinated with the possibilities of what photography as \u200ba medium has to offer.\u202f
\r\n
\r\nAs our 2022 runner-up, \u200bRasmussen travelled to northern france to document the flax pulling process at Terre de Lin, a cooperative specialized in the culture and the conversion of textile flax from seed to fiber.
