The Ian Perry Scholarship is now inviting applications from photographers worldwide for its 2021 scholarship award.
During the Romanian revolution in 1989, photojournalist Ian Parry died while on assignment for The Sunday Times. He was only 24 years old at the time. In order to create something positive from Ian’s tragic death, Aidan Sullivan, then picture editor, and Ian’s friends and family established the Ian Parry Scholarship.
The scholarship is an international photographic competition for young photographers under the age of 24 who are enrolled in a full-time photography course.
