Rebecca Vassie Memorial Award 2022

A £2,000 cash bursary, plus additional benefits, for a professional photographer to undertake a narrative photography project.

The winner receives:

£2,000 to cover all costs (including personal fee) for the project

Mentorship and £500 print credit (excludes self service, film sales, framing, retouch) from the wonderful Metro Imaging

Support from the Trust throughout the project, and promotion of your work through our online channels

Membership of Shutter Hub

Submission deadline: Friday, 8 April 2022.

The award is open to photographers who are either UK citizens or currently resident in the UK.

The award is for photographers at early-to-mid career stage. By this we mean a working professional photographer, probably trained, with some experience, but who does not yet earn a full living wage from their preferred style of photographic work.

There is no age limitation, and no requirement for art school or university education.

We warmly encourage photographers from culturally diverse backgrounds, those whose gender identity differs from their assigned sex, and those with disabilities.

Please note that we do not fund current undergraduates, or full-time students on any course. We also do not fund work that forms part of a postgraduate degree.
