In collaboration with London College of Communication, The Printing Charity is running a project for photojournalism degree students to celebrate and explore the history of print, as well as looking at what print means in today’s society. The aim is for students to use the power of photojournalism to show a positive story of how diverse the printing sector is. The students will present their submissions on 5 March when the work of three students will be selected for credited use in the charity’s publicity material. The winning trio will receive a Print Futures Award – which serves as a reminder that grants of up to £1,500 each are up for grabs to help UK residents aged 18 to 30 years pay for recognised UK courses for a career in printing, paper, publishing, packaging, and graphic arts. Applications for this year’s Awards are now open and will close on Sunday 29 April at 11.59pm. Tell your people!
