Timothy Allen Photography Scholarship Award
Join me for an amazing 10 days in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates
Timothy Allen Photography Scholarship Award
The Timothy Allen Photography Scholarship Award (TAPSA) is for all photographers who are interested in travel and documentary photography.
At TAPSA, we aim to highlight the work of lesser known photographers or those who we feel deserve a larger platform for their work. All entries are free and open to photographers of any nationality or age.
The award will be offered to a total of 5 photographers. Winners will be drawn from the pool of photographers who have entered a selection of photographs that represent the best of their work shot within the last 3 years. This portfolio of up to 10 images can comprise one or more stories of at least 5 images, a selection of single images or both single images and a story together.
PLEASE NOTE: TAPSA has now officially concluded. Many thanks to all the photographers who have joined us over the years.

Entries will be judged solely by myself. I will be looking for those photographers showing the most ingenuity and originality as well as photographic excellence in both image making and story telling.
