The Royal Photographic Society in partnership with The Photographic Angle have announced two £3000 bursaries to support a photographic project that will promote environmental awareness.  The bursaries are available for 16-25 year olds and 26 year old and above and are open to residents living in the UK. They are intended to assist with travel expenses, photographic equipment and other project-related costs. Applicants should have a clear objective and outcomes as part of their application.  

Announcing the bursaries The Royal Photographic Society’s Director-General Dr Michael Pritchard commented: “The Society is pleased to work with The Photographic Angle in assisting young and established photographers to produce new work that raises awareness of environmental issues. Supporting and encouraging photographers is a key objective for both The Society and The Photographic Angle and there are few issues more urgent than the environment which need to be brought to wider attention. Photography is the perfect medium to do this.”

Curator, Bryony Purvis of The Photographic Angle commented: “TPA is delighted to collaborate with The Society to support and nurture this vital area of photographic practice. The contribution of photographers towards promoting awareness and inspiring positive action to protect the environment is invaluable.”
