The 2013 competition is now closed
From our friends
The Renaissance competition raises cash for a great charity, the Lavender Trust at Breast Cancer Care. It gives the chance for any photographer to have their work judged by a panel of industry luminaries."
Martin Parr
Magnum photographer and Past Renaissance judge
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 £150,000 [2011] for The Lavender Trust for which we are extremely grateful. This will help fund our vital services to support younger women with breast cancer."

Your competition is unique, and brilliantly organised. I would like to express my thanks, and offer my congratulations on a charitable enterprise that succeeds also in stimulating the imaginations of so many photographers all around the world. "

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, six 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 London and win great prizes. But you'll also be donating to breast cancer as all profits from the entry fees are donated to The Lavender Trust at Breast Cancer Care.
Renaissance is a not-for-profit association run by volunteers. All profits go to charity. Our committee and judges give their time and expertise for free which has allowed us to raise £200,000 in the six years since we started.
Thanks in advance to all of you who enter.
