LBS Photo Awards

Transforming lives through business

Submit

The LBS Photography Awards is the first photography competition exploring today's global challenges from the perspective of businesses and organisations, in partnership with Canon.

When we talk about organisations we do it broadly, whether at the local or global level. We are equally interested in local businesses (such as a one-person shop or a small start-up), social enterprises and larger global corporations.

We’re not just looking for beautiful photographs. We’re after compelling stories that dig deep into the key issues humanity is facing. We are looking for photos that explore how business around the world engage in and shape environmental, human and social community issues.

Each entry should include a minimum of 5 pictures and a short description of the story.

Prizes:

Exhibition: Our jury will select the 5 best stories for each category, which will be exhibited in Central London at the London Business School (January 2018). The selected stories will also be showcased on our website and promoted through Canon's and London Business School's media channels.

First prize: Best Story Award (£2,000 when submitting as an individual)

Eligibility:

Worldwide, minimum age 18
