About the Photographic Awards

The Commonwealth Photographic Awards began in 1999 under the joint leadership of the Commonwealth Press Union and the Commonwealth Broadcasting Association.

Open to all from, or resident in, Commonwealth countries, this inspiring photographic prize celebrates the ways in which young people from all backgrounds across the Commonwealth, from different races, creeds, cultures and ways of life, see themselves and others.

Prizes for the Photographic Awards include £500, photographic equipment, internships at newspapers around the Commonwealth, and an exhibition at the Commonwealth Club in London.
