BJP International Photography Award - Deadline Extended
30/09/2009

The deadline to enter BJP’s International Photography Award has been extended to 05 October.

Entries to the award avalanched last week following the announcement of a new sponsor, so we’ve pushed the deadline in response. Robert White is now the sponsor of the portfolio category of the prize, and is offering photographers the chance to win a £5000 voucher. The retailer sells a wide range of professional kit, including the Fujifilm medium format film camera GF670, known in Europe as the Voigtlander Bessa III. The winner could also take a Leica M9 camera, a Canon EOS 5D Mark II or 7D digital SLR, or a Nikon D3x.

The single image category prize remains the Sigma DP2 compact camera, and 30 photographers in this category will also be included in a book produced by Blurb.com.

Both winners’ work will be printed at Spectrum Photographic, one of Europe’s leading fine art labs, and exhibited in a London gallery. The IPA is run by the British Journal of Photography, the oldest photography magazine in the world. For more details, visit bjp-online.com/ipa
