Exhibition Opening: ROSL Photography Award 2025

Thursday 20th November 2025, 18:00- 20:00

We’re delighted to announce the return of the ROSL Photography Award, a biennial contemporary photography competition.

Free to enter, the opportunity is open to photographers from – or living in – the commonwealth (or former commonwealth), the US, EU, EEA, Switzerland, Japan and South Korea. Now in its fourth edition, the competition has continued to build on its reputation and tripled the number of entries since the first iteration. The competition offers £3,500 of prize money, an exhibition of shortlisted entries in London, and winning images published in Overseas Journal. For the 2025 edition, applicants were asked to respond to the theme ‘Beyond the Figure’. This year applications were judged by Jess Baxter, Assistant Curator of International Art at Tate Modern, and Nishant Shukla, photographer and Founding Director of Lake Space.

Shortlisted photographers: Adedolapo Boluwatife Abimbola (Nigeria) / Md shamim Ul islam (Bangladesh) / Megan Eagles (UK) / Ebube Odunze (Nigeria) / Emilia Martin (Poland) / Carlos Idun-Tawiah (Ghana) / Raphaël Neal (UK) / Shizza Majeed (UK/Pakistan) / Javier Arcenillas (Spain) / Janusz Jurek (Poland) / Sudip Maiti (India) / Dennis Onyango (Kenya) / Kyaw Zay Yar Lin (Japan) / Sean Cham (Singapore/UK) / Muhammad Amdad Hossain (Bangladesh) / Partha Kar (India) / Mithail Afrige Chowdhury (Bangladesh) / Thero Makepe (Botswana) / Debdatta Chakraborty (India) / Mohammad Rakibul Hasan (Bangladesh).
