Wellcome Photography Prize 2019

Event Title: Wellcome Photography Prize 2019

Deadline: 17^th Dec. 2018

Event Description:

Previously the Wellcome Image Awards, our newly relaunched competition will reward pictures that show the importance of health in society and the impact health issues have on people and communities worldwide.

We’re looking for entries that can captivate people with stories of science and medicine, and start conversations about some of the health challenges humanity faces today.

Whether you are a research scientist, a documentary or clinical photographer, an artist, or a photojournalist, this is a great opportunity for you to inspire people to think differently about health, medicine and life.

Prizes and publicity

Images will be shortlisted and then winners chosen by a panel of high-profile judges.

The winner of each category will receive £1,250, with the overall winner receiving a prize of £15,000. Prizes will be presented at an awards ceremony in London on 3 July 2019.

All the winning and shortlisted entries will go on show in a major public exhibition at Lethaby Gallery, Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London, from 4-13 July 2019.

If you’re a winner, we will also offer you opportunities to take part in events to showcase your work to a range of audiences. Our winning images receive extensive international media coverage each year.

Categories

There are four categories in the competition:

• Social perspectives – explore how health and illness affect the way we live
• Hidden worlds – reveal details hidden to the naked eye
• Medicine in focus – show health and healthcare up close and personal
• Outbreaks (2019 theme) – capture the impact of disease as it spreads.

How to enter
