IAFOR Documentary Photography Award – Concurs international de fotografie documentara

The IAFOR Documentary Photography Award is now inviting submissions on the theme: “History, Story, Narrative”. Historians are far from the only interested party in writing history. In a sense it is an interest we all share – whether we are talking politics, region, family birthright, or even personal experience. We are spectators to the process of history while being intimately situated within its impact and formations.

We hope that the broad nature of this theme will encourage photographers to submit work from a variety of perspectives.
The IAFOR Documentary Photography Award was launched by The International Academic Forum (IAFOR) in 2015 as an international photography award that seeks to promote and assist in the professional development of emerging documentary photographers and photojournalists.

Applicants must be less than 31 years of age on June 1, 2017 OR enrolled in part-time or full-time education on June 1, 2017 (proof may be required).
