WHAT DOES FREEDOM
MEAN TO YOU?

 

Calling photographers of all ages, nationalities and technical skills! What does freedom mean to you?

 

Everyone should be able to live in freedom. Yet today there are 110 million people forcibly displaced worldwide. Each person, with their own hopes, fears and dreams, has been forced to flee from violence, conflict and persecution, leaving their homes, communities or countries behind. 

​

We’re inviting you to explore the word ‘freedom’ by taking part in this open photography competition to fundraise for Freedom from Torture, a charity which supports refugee survivors of torture in the UK.

​

A selection of the photographs will be made for exhibition and a winner in each age group and a number of runner-ups will be decided by a professional jury made up of eminent photographers Kolbassia Haoussou MBE, Aisha Olamide Seriki and director of Panos Pictures Adrian Evans. Winners in each category will be awarded prize money and a longlist of entries will be published in our digital gallery. 

 

The photos will be displayed at the following prestigious galleries:

 

The Velorose Gallery (London): 17th-29th June 2024

​

The Glasgow Gallery of Photography (Glasgow): 17th-23rd June 2024

​

44AD artspace (Bath): 14th-16th June 2024

Submissions are now open until our EXTENDED DEADLINE of April 28th! Click below to learn more.
