The annual Guardian/Royal Photographic Society Joan Wakelin bursary offers a bursary of £2,000 for the production of a photo essay on an overseas social documentary issue.
Entry is free of charge and open to all photographers of any age and nationality, anywhere in the world. If you wish to apply, please read through the online application and fill in each section, supplying eight images that show evidence of your approach to the medium and your photographic ability.
The bursary is intended to fund new projects: support for ongoing projects will not be considered. The bursary will be awarded to an individual, not to a group or a partnership. Furthermore, the bursary does not support projects requiring travel to, or within, war zones.
Shortlisted candidates will be interviewed via zoom in July (to be confirmed). Unfortunately, we will not be able to provide individual feedback owing to the volume of applications.
The 2023 selectors are: Fiona Shields, head of photography at the Guardian, and Roger Tooth FRPS, former head of photography at the Guardian, in collaboration with the Royal Photographic Society. The winning essay will be published in the RPS Journal and websites and the Guardian. The judges will be looking for an applicant who has a clear idea of where and how they will use their images to get their messages across to as wide an audience as possible.
Closing date is 29 May 2023. For further information email Jo Macdonald, awards manager: jo@rps.org
