Application Deadline: 3rd July 2017
About the Award: The awards welcome self-funded work and entries from local freelancers, especially those living and working in regions where it is difficult to operate. The Rory Peck Awards are uniquely dedicated to the work of freelance cameramen and camerawomen in news and current affairs worldwide. They celebrate creative, technical and journalism skills and highlight the important contribution that freelancers make to the newsgathering industry.
Across three competitive categories the awards honour quality of camerawork but also take into account individual endeavour and journalistic integrity.
