Do you dream of winning sexy new kit plus a professionally printed exhibition in London? If so your chance has come – the British Journal of Photography’s International Photography Award is now open until 30 September. 
 
The IPA is divided into two categories, the single image and the body of work prize. Both winners will see their work printed at Spectrum Photographic, one of Europe’s leading photographic printers, and exhibited in London’s East End. In addition, the body of work winner will pick up a D700 plus a 50mm, 1.4G lens, and the single image winner a Sigma DP2s, the thinking photographer’s compact. 
 
The IPA is now in its sixth year. Edmund Clark won the body of work prize in 2009 with a sobering portfolio looking at living conditions in Guantanamo Bay. The shot above, for example, shows an exercise yard in the Cuban detention centre. Clark is now publishing the project as a book with Dewi Lewis and is staging another exhibition at London’s Photofusion.  Guilio di Sturco won the single image prize last year with a dignified shot of a victim of religious violence in India. Mentored by VII Photo, di Sturco has already won a World Press Award and seen his work exhibited at Visa Pour L’Image.
