the ian parry photojournalism grant

The Ian Parry Photojournalism Grant is an international photographic competition for young photographers who are 24 years of age or under, or anyone who is studying in a full-time photographic course. Entrants must submit a portfolio of 12 images and a clear proposal of a project they would undertake if they received the grant.

The Ian Parry Photojournalism Grant supports young and emerging photographers as they embark on their career in the world of photojournalism. We offer financial support, mentorship and ongoing assistance for the promotion of their work. Importantly, the recipient becomes part of a network of past recipients and an extended family of people who care deeply about the grant and believe in the importance of photojournalism.

The grant started over three decades ago in honour of photojournalist Ian Parry, who died while on assignment for The Sunday Times during the Romanian revolution in 1989 at the age of 24. Each year we hold a free and globally reaching open call and award The Ian Parry Photojournalism Grant, which strives to spotlight new talent in photojournalism.
