The Royal Photographic Society announces the recipients of its 2021 Awards
The Royal Photographic Society Awards are the world’s longest running and most prestigious photography accolades. Now in its 143rd year, the awards recognise individuals working across both still and moving image. The Awards celebrate significant achievements, showcase new and emerging talent, and highlight notable contributions from RPS members.
The 2021 recipients tell remarkable stories, and their work is a testament to the power of photography to inspire, uplift, incite change and bring about personal, social, and cultural wellbeing.
The eighteen categories span different genres and applications of photography, including the recognition of achievements in moving image, new media, science and imaging, education, and curation. The categories continue to evolve to reflect new ways of seeing, making, and sharing photography.
For 2021, the RPS Awards will be celebrated online, with a series of events with notable past and current recipients beginning January 2022.
