Ian Parry Scholarship, one of the most important photography award for young photojournalists, is now open for entries.

Open to young photographers who are either attending a full-time photographic course or are under 24 years.

Founded by Aidan Sullivan, former Picture Editor of The Sunday Times, the award remembers Ian Parry, a generous and courageous photojournalist who died in Romania in 1989 at the age of twenty-four. At the time of his passing, Parry was documenting the fall of Communist leader Nicolae Ceausescu.

On one of his first major assignments covering the revolution in Romania, a job he was determined to undertake, the plane carrying him home was shot down shortly after take off killing all on board.

In the last 30 years, the scholarship has served as an enduring reminder of the power of images to herald change.
