The deadline to enter BJP’s International Photography Award has been extended to 05 October.

Entries to the award avalanched last week following the announcement of a new sponsor, so BJP has pushed the deadline in response. Robert White is now the sponsor of the portfolio category of the prize, and is offering photographers the chance to win a £5000 voucher. The retailer sells a wide range of professional kit, including the Fujifilm medium format film camera GF670, known in Europe as the Voigtlander Bessa III. The winner could also take a Leica M9 camera, a Canon EOS 5D Mark II or 7D digital SLR, or a Nikon D3x.

The single image category prize remains the Sigma DP2 compact camera, and 30 photographers in this category will also be included in a book produced by Blurb.com.

Both winners’ work will be printed at Spectrum Photographic, one of Europe’s leading fine art labs, and exhibited in a London gallery. The IPA is run by the British Journal of Photography, the oldest photography magazine in the world.
