Ian Parry Scholarship 2005
Ian Parry was a photojournalist who died while on assignment for the Sunday Times during the Romanian revolution in 1989. He was just 24 years old. The Scholarship was set up by his friends and family in order to build something positive from such a tragic death.
Each year a competition is held for photographers who are either attending a full-time recognized photography course or who are under the age of 24. Entrants must submit a portfolio of their work and a brief synopsis of a project they would undertake if they won the award. Currently the prize is £1,500 of camera equipment, and a further £2,500 towards their assignment. Metro Imaging in London also offers £500 worth of vouchers to the winner and £250 to those awarded "highly commended" and "commended."
The winner's work will also be published in The Sunday Times Magazine. Year after year, the award has highlighted the work of some of the industry’s finest emerging talent, all of whom have progressed into professional careers and still support the award. Last year’s winner, David Hogsholt, has since won a World Press Award for his photographs of Mia, a young drug addict in Denmark.
In addition, World Press Photo has agreed to automatically accept the winner onto its final list of nominees for the Joop Swart Masterclass in Amsterdam, as a result of so many of our previous winners having attended this prestigious event in recent years.
The print exhibition will take place at the Tom Blau Gallery in London, showing all of the winning entries and an edited selection of images chosen by the judges from work entered into the award. The exhibition will run from 24th August for two weeks.
The Ian Parry Scholarship 2005 deadline will be Tuesday, June 21. Applications are available by download only from www.ianparry.org.
