Six highly respected figures from the UK photography industry have signed up to judge the BJP's International Photography Award.

Monica Allende, picture editor of The Sunday Times Magazine; Alex Sturrock, photographer and picture editor of Vice UK; and Lisa Pritchard, from the Lisa Pritchard Agency, have all signed up to judge the single image category of the prize. Francis Hodgson, photography critic for the Financial Times, Nick Galvin, archive manager for Magnum Photos' UK office; and Michael Diemar, of Diemar / Noble gallery will judge the body of work category.

Photographers have just five more days to enter both categories to hit our final deadline - 05 October. The prize for the body of work prize is now a £5000 voucher to spend at Robert White, a professional photography specialist with kit from every manufacturer from Nikon to Rodenstock. The single image prize, meanwhile, is a professional standard compact, the Sigma DP2. Both finalists will have their images printed by Spectrum Photographic, one of Europe's finest labs, and exhibited at a leading London gallery. 30 of the best single image entries, meanwhile, will be printed into a book by Blurb.com.
