Tereza Zelenkova (b. 1985, Czech Republic) is an artist who works predominantly with black and white photography, creating series based on ephemeral and poetic relationships between the individual images. Her work often enquires into the possibility of myth within the rationally structured modern world.
She received her MA in Photography from the Royal College of Art in London in 2012 and BA (Hons) in Photographic Arts from the University of Westminster in London in 2010. She is a recipient of the 1000 Words Magazine Award 2012, she was shortlisted for the Saatchi New Sensations 2012 award, and was finalist of Fresh Faced & Wild Eyed 2011 awarded by The Photographer’s Gallery in London. She has several self-published books as well as Supreme Vice published by Mörel Books. Her self-published book, Index of Time (2012), made in collaboration with Peter Watkins, was selected as one of the best books of 2012 by Photo-Eye and latest publication, The Absence of Myth, was selected as one of the best black and white photobooks of 2013 by Telegraph.

Chaque artiste reçoit une bourse de 5.000 livres ainsi qu'un accompagnement pour permettre une importante visibilité. D'ailleurs les travaux des trois lauréats seront montrés au public dans le cadre du Jerwood Visual Arts en novembre 2015.
