Ian Parry Photojournalism Grant opens for entries

2 May 2023

The prestigious Ian Parry Photojournalism Grant (IPPG) has opened for entries for 2023.

For the last 3 decades, the IPPG has championed young and emerging photographers as they embark on their career in the world of photojournalism. Each year, the IPPG recipient receives financial support, mentorship and ongoing assistance for the promotion of their work.

The grant is named in honour of photojournalist Ian Parry, a young freelance photographer who died in 1989 whilst on assignment for a British newspaper covering the Romanian Revolution.

For 2023, the IPPG has increased the prize money awarded to £10,000/year ($18,000 AUD) and launched a new website which showcases previous recipients’ work and an interactive map of all previous winners’ locations.

The charity behind the IPPG says this will hopefully become a valuable resource for photographic commissioners looking to work with photojournalists from around the world.

To enter, entrants must submit a portfolio of 12 photographs, either a photo essay or individual photos, as part of the application process.
