Documentary Photography Project Bursary

    2025 Award

    What is it?

    A £2,000 cash bursary, plus additional benefits, for a professional photographer to undertake a narrative photography project.

    The winner receives:

    • £2,000 to cover all costs (including personal fee) for the project
    • Support towards industry and public exposure
    • Promotion of your work through our online channels
    • Mentorship from Karen Harvey of Shutter Hub

    The award is open to photographers who are either (i) UK citizens or (ii) currently full resident in the UK.

    The award is for photographers at early-to-mid career stage. By this we mean a working professional photographer, probably trained, with some experience, but who does not yet earn a full living wage from their preferred style of photographic work.
