The Royal Photographic Society
The Royal Photographic Society Documentary Awards celebrate visual storytelling using a series of images to investigate an issue or narrative.
This exhibition brings together the 9 winning photographers from the 2025 international competition. There are three award categories: Open, Members, and Student. The winners are selected by an independent panel of experts including editors, educators, curators and photographers.
Each photographer has crafted a unique narrative using
their own visual methodology. Works using Generative AI
and image manipulation are not accepted.
“In a world where people’s attention span is short, it is
vital for photographers to engage an audience with the
story. Without exception, all the awardees have created
work with visual impact.” – Harry Hall, RPS Documentary Group Chair.
The RPS Documentary Photography Awards Exhibition is now on in our Foyer Gallery Space.
We are open Wed-Sun 10am-5pm.
