Posted on by

Deadline: 21 January 2021. A key focus of the BarTur Photo Award has always been the immense power photography has in influencing the way that we understand and engage with the world around us. Using photography as a means to express ideas and values, the BarTur Photo Award 2021 will cross boundaries and help bring communities together.

In its seventh edition, the BarTur Photo Award aims to transform the lives and careers of those who participate, like it has done for the previous winners. Since the inception of the award, over $100,000 in grants have been awarded. The BarTur Photo Award (2011 and 2012) in collaboration with University of the Arts London, and the BarTur Photobook Award (2014, 2015 & 2017) in collaboration with the Photographers Gallery, London have all supported, developed, and promoted students and recent graduates to help them realize their potential.

The three themes for the BarTur Photo Award 2021 are: Climate Change, Human Love and Unity & Diversity. The competition opens October 21, 2020 and will run until January 21, 2021. Cash prizes and grants of $15,000 will be awarded to the winners.

Prizes:

PROFESSIONAL/AMATEUR – $10,000 to be split among the three winners

BASECAMP PRIZE FOR BEST STUDENT PHOTOGRAPHER – $5,000 grant for their next project and a two week summer stay at Basecamp’s Copenhagen DK, Łodz PL or Leipzig DE locations. *Accommodation only
