The Ian Parry Scholarship ($3,500)

This is one of the most important competitions for young photographers, it could make your career, not because of the money, but of the notoriety that’s attached. For a start it’s judged by Don McCullin!

Ian Parry was a photojournalist who died while on assignment for The Sunday Times during the Romanian revolution in 1989. He was just 24 years of age. Aidan Sullivan, then picture editor, and Ian’s friends and family created the Ian Parry Scholarship in order to build something positive from such a tragic death.

Each year they hold an international photographic competition for young photographers who are either attending a full-time photographic course or are under 24.

Entrants must submit a portfolio and a clear proposal of a project they would undertake if they won the scholarship.

There is no entry fee

Each winner will receive $3,500 towards their chosen project.
