InsideOut: Reflections on the Public and the Private
Deadline: 29 March 2012
Application fee: £35 GBP for one category
The prize is calling for photographic essays, documentaries and conceptual projects that relate to the 2012 London Festival of Photography theme, InsideOut: Reflections on the Public and the Private.
The emphasis of the prize is on visual storytelling. Projects must work together as a whole and include some sort of narrative structure. We are not looking for single images or commercially-oriented work.
The prize is open to all photographers aged 18+, anywhere in the world.
As the festival expands in 2012, the London Festival of Photography Prize is an opportunity for photographers to submit projects for inclusion in a world-class exhibition celebrating the annual festival theme. Each year the festival will explore a relevant and far-reaching theme through photographic exhibitions, workshops, participatory activities and debates.
This prestigious prize will achieve critical acclaim for the chosen winners. Every entry will be seen by a judging panel of internationally renowned experts. The Street Photography Awards exhibition run by the festival in 2011 was seen by 6,000 visitors and the winners and finalists have had their images published worldwide. The exhibition sat alongside the festival’s Vivian Maier exhibition, listed by the Observer as one of 2011's top 10 photography shows in the UK.
There are two options for submission:
the photo-series category (still images only) and
the photo-film category (multimedia)
Why are there two categories?
Projects combining photography, moving image, sound and graphics have become important aspects of online journalism and story telling. This prize aims to salute those practitioners and discover who is creating the most exciting multimedia projects today. At the same time, we recognise the power of a carefully edited set of images that stand strong without additional effects.
