Come and meet with BJP's team and this year's winner of our International Photography Award: Beso Uznadze.

When: Tuesday 25 November at 6.30pm.
Where: The Association of Photographers' Gallery, 81 Leonard Street, London EC2A 4QS.

Beso Uznadze's stunning images of Georgians both at home and in London, which won the portfolio category award, will take up most of the Association of Photographers' gorgeous split-level space. But his work will also be joined by World Press Photo award-winner Walter Astrada's shot of a Guatemalan femicide victim - a shot so powerful it took the single image prize. The prints are currently being made up by Spectrum Photos, one of Europe's leading fine art printers, and both photographers have also won a Canon EOS 5D MkII - an upgrade from the 5D - courtesy of Canon.

The exhibition will run until 29 November.
