Ian Parry Scholarship 2021 for Photographers worldwide ($3,500 prize): (Deadline 29 July 2021)
Applications for the Ian Parry Scholarship 2021 are now open. The scholarship is an international photographic competition for young photographers who are either attending a full-time photographic course or are under 24 years.
The scholarship exists to find and support the very best young people striving to produce powerful, meaningful photojournalism in a ‘selfie’ obsessed world. Ian would be immensely proud of the long list of internationally known photographers who were helped at the start of their careers by the scholarship that bears his name.
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.
