The BPPA Bookshop – NOW OPEN

We are getting loads of requests for copies of the Assignments catalogues – way more than expected – we’re really pleased that it is so popular!
To make it a bit easier to deal with the demand we have just added a “Bookshop” to the BPPA website where you can buy the books.
IT’S OPEN NOW!!!
For those of you that haven’t seen the Assignments 2017 catalogues they feature every picture that made it onto the wall, printed one picture to an A4 page, in full colour. It’s a pretty amazing collection of the year’s best pictures.
Every picture entered into assignments makes an appearance as part of the “contact sheet” and gets a name check!
We’ve done one for last year too…
Because last year was the first time we had done “Assignments” in it’s current form we weren’t able to do a catalogue to go along side the exhibition. That seemed a bit unfair on the photographers who entered and got pictures used last year – so we decided to put that right by doing a retrospective “Assignments 2016” book.
Stocks really are limited – so place your orders now!

Assignments 2017 – IT’S OPEN!!

The British Press Photographers’ Association is pleased to announce that ASSIGNMENTS 2017 is now accepting entries.
There are a few things different from last year so please do read the new rules and how to enter – we are realists though – we know you will probably skip to the “how do I enter” bit without going through the rest of it.
So here is a very brief rundown..
1, You have to be a member of the BPPA – if you aren’t you can join now.
2, It will cost £2 per picture to submit images, up to a maximum of 5 images. Those selected will be asked to pay a fee of £50 per picture towards the cost of framing (capped at £100 max). A Paypal request for payment will be sent to the email address you submit your pictures from once we have received the files (Sorry – we have to do this to pay for the exhibition – we aren’t making a profit or being paid to do this.)
3, The curators can’t enter so there is no risk of fixing.
4, No trying to nobble the curators – they are independent.
5, No doctoring pictures
6, Its your copyright – but we need to be able to use the images for the exhibition to work.
7, If you don’t want us to use your pictures on social media thats cool – just say so when you enter.
8, Read the tech specs and entry procedure bit
9, Deadline is midnight on 31th of August 2017
