Uganda Press Photo Award 2024 (UGX 3,000,000 prize)

Deadline: August 10, 2024

Applications are open for the Uganda Press Photo Award (UPPA) 2024. The Uganda Press Photo Award (UPPA) continues the tradition of recognizing and awarding some of the best photography and photojournalism within the country. This year they are inviting Ugandan photographers to submit bodies of photographic work responding to the theme ‘WITNESS.’

Last year, they saw an uptick in social advocacy, which was raised high on the shoulders of photography. Many people turned to social media and used their mobile phones to share images and raise awareness about issues affecting their lives. These included the state of roads and healthcare, service delivery and accountability, and much more.

Photography plays a pivotal role in documenting our reality as a witness and as evidence. It evokes empathy and provides proof, and its impact on history, governance, and social advocacy underscores its power to shape public consciousness and drive change. The many images shared during these social media exhibitions provide emotional connections for all of us living the same reality and experiencing the same challenges. This year, they decided to continue the trend and ask you to share your documented narratives that unveil your various realities.

Prize

  • The Winner gets a UGX 3,000,000 cash prize and other prizes.

Eligibility

  • Open to Ugandan photographers.
  • Image size: 6000px on the longest dimension. (sRGB, 300 dpi, jpg format).
  • The contest is restricted to citizens of Uganda 18 years of age or older.
  • All entries must have been taken between August 1, 2022 and August 1, 2024 and must be submitted by August 1, 2024. This will be confirmed via EXIF data.
