About:
This award celebrates photography as a powerful way of seeing and engaging with the world. It is inspired by the legacy of Rod and Jenny Hall, passionate travellers and generous supporters of the arts who encouraged artists at the early stages of their careers.
The award continues their commitment to creativity, curiosity and artistic opportunity and is supported by Benjamin Hall in recognition of the role photography plays in observing, recording and understanding the world and is open to all photographers.
In his career as a foreign correspondent Hall has seen how photographs can capture not only a moment in time, but the emotions, convictions, and realities of people, places, and communities.
The award will look across all forms of photography - fine art, documentary, portraiture, landscape and beyond - to find the work that the judges agree best captures the power of the medium.
The judges will select a shortlist of works to be exhibited, from which one photographer will be selected as the recipient of the award of £1,000.
