The Joan Wakelin Bursary 2008
Entries are being invited for this year's Joan Wakelin Bursary, which offers photographers £2,000 and the chance to have their work published in the Guardian. The Bursary, administered by the Guardian and The Royal Photographic Society, is awarded to the photographer who presents the best proposal for a photographic essay on an overseas social documentary issue. Submission is open to all, with no restriction on age or qualification. Entrants should submit a maximum of six images as examples of their work, along with a written proposal (max 500 words) describing their intended project and a completed entry form which can be downloaded from the Guardian's website. Completed entries should arrive by first post on 1 August 2008 at: Guardian Picture Desk, 119 Farringdon Road, London EC1R 3ER. The shortlist will be selected by a jury nominated by the Guardian and The RPS. The winner will be announced at the RPS Awards Ceremony on 2 October. The winning photo-essay will be published in the Guardian and the RPS Journal in 2009. Copyright will remain with the photographer, although licence will be agreed for the photo-essay to appear in the Guardian, the RPS Journal and any promotions associated with the bursary.
