What it is

Photo Museum Ireland runs the Young Photographer Awards as its national photography awards for young people. Entries are judged separately in two age groups, 8–13 and 14–18, on three equally weighted criteria: strength of the idea, creativity and originality, and visual impact. Photographs made with a phone, digital camera, analogue camera or other photographic process are accepted. Each entrant may submit up to ten photographs. Entrants under 16 need parental or guardian authorisation. Images containing AI-generated or AI-modified elements must be identified and categorised as such at entry.

Who it is for

Young photographers aged 8 to 18 living on the island of Ireland, born between 1 January 2007 and 31 December 2017.

Open to artists in Ireland, United Kingdom.

The call says: “Source page restricts to Ireland, Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland”
