Last call for nominations for the Combined Royal Colleges Medal

Originally established by The Society in 1958 in collaboration with the Royal College of Physicians of London, the Royal College of Surgeons of England and the Royal College of Obstetricians & Gynaecologists, the Royal Colleges Medal is awarded for an outstanding contribution to photography and/or its application in the service of medicine and surgery.  Any person of any nationality, whether a member of The Society or not, is entitled to submit work or to be nominated for the Award.

All nominations should be received by Jo Macdonald, Awards Manager (jo@rps.org / 01225 325721) by 7 May at the latest.  A nomination form can be found at this link http://www.rps.org/resources/downloads/Awards_nomination_2012.pdf.

The closing date for all other awards has now passed.

The Royal Photographic Society International Awards are offered annually to individuals who have made significant contributions to the art and science of photography. The Society has adopted a wide definition of photography which refers to the art or science of the recording of light or other radiation on any medium on which an image is produced or from which any image may by any means be produced.

 Nominations will continue to be considered by the Awards Committee for three years after the first submission. Should further information relevant to a nomination, where an Award has not been made, become available during this period the Awards Committee would like to be informed so that it can take it into consideration. Nominators should be aware that when an Award has not been made during this three year period a fresh nomination may be made, but should realise that a further significant contribution to  photography during the intervening period needs to be shown.
