Ian Parry Scholarship 2008 Deadline: June 20th
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 Ian Parry Scholarship was set up by me, Aidan Sullivan, then picture editor of The Sunday Times and Ian’s friends and family in order to build something positive from such a tragic death.
Each year, Getty Images supports the scholarship which is for photographers who are attending a full-time photography course or who are 24 years of age or below. Entrants must submit a digital portfolio of their work and a brief synopsis of a project they would undertake if they won the award. This year, we’ve made it even easier for students to apply. All that they have to do is upload their work and application form to an FTP site (instructions can all be found at www.ianparry.org).
Winners receive £3,000 towards their assignment and £500 to those awarded highly commended and commended.
As you can imagine this is a significant prize for a photographer. With the continued support of The Sunday Times Magazine, which publishes the winner’s work, the scholarship provides a launch into a professional photography career. Year after year, the award has highlighted the work of some of the industry’s finest emerging talent.
Judging for 2008 will take place at the Frontline Club in London on July 1, and I am delighted to announce that we have a prestigious group of judges, including former winner Magnum photographer Jonas Bendiksen (see complete list below). We are also delighted to announce that World Press Photo has again agreed to automatically accept the winner onto their final list of nominees for the Joop Swart Masterclass in Amsterdam. This is because of so many of our previous winners having attended this prestigious event in recent years.
Our 2008 jury are: Don McCullin Patron, Jonas Bendiksen/Magnum Photos & 2002 Winner, Tom Stoddart Getty Images, Tony Chambers Editor-in-Chief Wallpaper* magazine, Cheryl Newman Photography Director Saturday Telegraph magazine, John Downing Trustee, Steve Blogg Getty Images, Stephen Reid Art Director Sunday Times magazine and Ian’s family.
