Athens Photo World, with a donation by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation, is organising for the fourth year the annual Photojournalism Award for professional photographers living and working in Greece and/or Cyprus.
Athens Photo World will award a 5,000€ cash prize to an ongoing or complete project of photojournalism or documentary photography, created after January 2018.
Always aiming to promote the work of photographers and photojournalists, and familiarise the public with contemporary photojournalism and its contribution to recording history as it is written, APW contributes in its own way to encouraging and enhancing their vocation and their ability to remain committed to their work and vision.
The awarded photographic project will be exhibited at the next Athens Photo World at an individual exhibition of the photographer.
A new jury will be appointed every year. For 2022 the panel consist of photojournalist Maro Kouri, photo editor Nasia Diamantidis and photography professor Nick Apostolopoulos.
Those interested are invited to submit a portfolio of twelve (12) photographs, explanatory text and a brief resume.
The winner of the Athens Photo World 2022 Award will be announced at the closing event of APW 2022 on May 29th, at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center.
Participation in the Athens Photo World Award contest is free.
