To celebrate KLPA's 10th Anniversary in recognising and rewarding great portrait photography, this year we are awarding a special GRAND PRIZE of $5,000 to one ultimate photographer - our highest prize money to be awarded - in addition to our unique commissioned trophies, extended exposure and printed features by or media partners.

​In recognising diversity and rewarding effort, this edition of KLPA have chosen specifically to highlight the importance of good storytelling in photography, within the contemporary portraiture genre where so many emerging photographers have been doing recently - project work or the photo story. Special emphasis will also be given to photographers who push the boundaries of conventionality, to producing imaginative, fresh, visually arresting portraits and personally driven and well researched stories.

1 Grand Prize of $5,000 & trophy. Category A : 1st Prize $1,500 & trophy, 2nd Prize $750, 3rd Prize $500. Category B : 1st Prize $1,500 & trophy, 2nd Prize $750, 3rd Prize $500.
