Ian Parry Scholarship 2007

The deadline for entries for the Ian Parry Scholarship 2007 is Friday 15 June 2007. Details for application are available by download from the organisation's website.
Ian Parry was a photojournalist who died whilst on assignment for the Sunday Times during the Romanian revolution in 1989. He was just 24 years old. The Scholarship was set up by his friends and family in order to build something positive from his tragic death. 
Sponsored by The Sunday Times and Getty Images, each year the Scholarship invites applications from photographers who are either attending a full-time recognised photography course or who are under the age of 24. Entrants must submit a portfolio of their work and a brief synopsis of a project they would undertake if they won the award. Currently the prize is £2,500 towards their assignment and Metro Imaging also offer £500 worth of vouchers to the winner and £250 to those awarded highly commended and commended. World Press Photo has agreed to automatically accept the winner onto its final list of nominees for the Joop  Swart  Masterclass in Amsterdam.
