We are pleased to serve as a sponsor of the IAFOR Documentary Photography Award.

This new award seeks to promote and assist in the professional development of emerging documentary photographers and photojournalists.

In addition to a £1,000 cash award, mentorship sessions, exhibitions in the UK and Japan, and an invitation to an IAFOR conference in Asia, Europe or North America, the first place winner will receive a place in our One Day Workshop. Winners will be announced July 15th.

About the Award

The award is supported by The International Academic Forum (IAFOR) – Asia’s Think Tank – and builds off of the strength of the IAFOR Documentary Film Award, now in its fourth year. Documentary has a rich history of exposing truths, telling stories, raising awareness and creating discussion — all practices valued at IAFOR.

The award will be judged by a panel of leading professionals in the field of documentary photography and photojournalism, including Paul Lowe, Simon Norfolk and Emma Bowkett.
