Call for entries

British Journal of Photography is calling for entries to its International Photography Award – a juried competition with a total prize fund worth more than £13,000.

DPNow says: As with all photo competitions, DPNow urges all potential competitors to read the terms and conditions before entering their work in case a claim is made on the use or copyright of your pictures. Also, beware of any subsequent offers that ask you to pay for items that result from competitions before parting with any cash.

There are two categories, providing two opportunities to exhibit at a leading London gallery and have your work printed by one of Europe’s leading fine art printers. The winners will also win professional camera kit worth £5000 and a feature in BJP.

Single image prize
Last year Walter Astrada, an Argentinian World Press Photo award-winner picked up the single image prize for his stark shot of murder in Guatemala.

Portfolio prize
Beso Uznadze won the portfolio prize for his stunning series of portraits of Georgians, shot after the conflict with Russia in 2008.

The International Photography Award is judged by a panel of internationally-recognised photographers, picture editors and curators. Photographers may submit multiple entries into either category and the contest is open to all.

Entry is £5 (or $8 or €6) for the single image category and £25 (or $40 or €30) for the portfolio category. The deadline is 11 September. For more information and to enter, visit

NOTES:
The exhibition will take place from 23-28 November at the Association of Photographers’ gallery in Shoreditch, with a private view on 27 November. The exhibition will be printed by Spectrum Photographic, and Blurb Books will create a winners’ book of 50 of the best single image submissions. The camera prize will be confirmed.
