A word from our founder

The Renaissance Photography Prize is an international photography competition which raises money to support younger women with breast cancer. I founded the competition in 2007 when I was myself diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 34 and am delighted that, four years on, it has become an established fixture in the photography world.

By entering, you get the chance to have your work judged by some of the top names in photography, be exhibited in the prestigious Mall Galleries in the heart of London and win over £8,000 ($12,000) worth of prizes.

But you’ll also be donating to breast cancer as all of your entry fee is donated to the Lavender Trust at Breast Cancer Care. Renaissance is run entirely by volunteers. Every penny goes to charity. Everyone gives their time and expertise for free which has allowed us to raise over £150,000 so far.

Thanks in advance to all of you who enter.

Some words from our friends

I was delighted to have attended last year’s Renaissance Gala party. The photographs on display were stunning and it was wonderful to watch the prizes being awarded to the well deserved competition winners. Renaissance has developed into such a successful and well established event which has now raised over £94,000 for the Lavender Trust for which we are extremely grateful. This will help fund our vital services to support younger women with breast cancer. "
