Three great competitions from the British Journal of Photography.
Are you a world-class photographer? Would you like your own solo show? Or to see your images published in the top magazine in your field? If so the British Journal of Photography wants your work.
We’re currently championing three competitions – the International Photography Award, Shoot the Street and Unveiled.
The International Photography Award rewards the best photography worldwide, in any genre or subject. Now in its sixth year, it boasts two categories – a body of work prize and the single image prize. Both winners see their work printed by Spectrum Photographic pro lab and exhibited for a week in London. In addition, the body of work prize-winner will also pick up a Nikon D700 plus a 50mm 1.4G lens, while the single image prize winner claims a Sigma DP2s. www.bjp-online.com/ipa
Last year’s body of work winner, Edmund Clark, submitted a project exploring everyday life for the detainees and ex-detainees of the Guantanamo Bay detention centre. Clark’s previous project, Still Life Killing Time was published by Dewi Lewis and a finalist at the inaugural New York Photo Awards.
Shoot the Street picks out the best in street photography, shot anywhere in the world. The best photographer will see his or her work printed by MX Display and exhibited in a solo show at Format, the UK’s leading international contemporary photography biennale. The closing date for this prize is 30 June so enter now! www.bjp-online.com/street
