The Graduate Photographers Award provides a new opportunity for photographers, acknowledging the best emerging practitioners providing them with exposure to both a public and highly professional audience.
A team of ten highly skilled industry experts each nominated ten outstanding photographers who have graduated from a UK degree course relating to photography or lens-based media in the last three years. From these nominations, the final selection of ten photographers have been identified by a panel of judges: Kate Bush, Head of Photography for Science Museum Group; Fiona Rogers, Global Business Development Manager at Magnum Photos; Francis Hodgson, Photography Critic at The Financial Times and Professor in the Culture of Photography at University of Brighton; Michael Benson, Director of Candlestar and Olivia Arthur, Magnum photographer.
The Graduate Photographers Award builds on the collective commitment from Magnum Photos, Photo London and RBB Economics in the support, development and advancement of early career photographers.
