Calling All Up and Coming Photographers - The Ian Parry Scholarship is Open for Entries
The Ian Parry Scholarship is a free international photographic award for documentary and visual photojournalism students and freelance photographers of the age of 24 years and under. It gives entrants that chance to put their work in front of a team of international judges and join the family of illustrious past winners.
The Scholarship comprises two major awards: The Award for Achievement and the Award for Potential, and is open to:
All full-time students including recently graduating students and BA, MA and MFA students.
Professional photographers who are 24 years old or younger.
Winners will benefit from:
Work exhibited in London as part of a large gallery exhibition and publication in the Sunday Times Magazine, the scheme’s media sponsor. The Main Sponsor, The Incite Project, will add work from the winners to their prestigious collection with an invite to visit the collection for a private view.
Each winner will also receive $3,500 towards their chosen project.
The winner of the Award for Potential will receive a year-long personal mentorship, this year with the highly respected photographer and former Ian Parry winner, Simon Roberts.
Canon provides equipment to the winners and World Press Photo will automatically accept the winner of the Achievement Award into its final list of nominees for Joop Swart Masterclass in Amsterdam.
