Renewed sponsorship for press photography award

The Farsons Foundation has renewed its sponsorship for the Press Photography category of the 18th Malta Journalism Awards organised by the Institute of Maltese Journalists (IĠM).

"The Farsons Foundation has been sponsoring the Institute of Maltese Journalists since 1992. The sponsorship of the Press Photography category abides fully with the foundation's mission statement to encourage the various forms of Maltese art and culture," the president of The Farsons Foundation, Bryan Gera, said during the signing of the sponsorship agreement with the IĠM.

On his part, IĠM chairman Malcolm Naudi noted that the Press Photography category served as the best showcase for Maltese press photographers.

The 18th edition will be launched this month. In the meantime, press photographers may start selecting their best three photographs released last year in a newspaper or magazine. They also have to submit the original clipping accompanied with the MJA application form.

The nominations will be evaluated by an independent panel of judges, including an experienced photo journalist, whose decision will be final, explained MJA organiser Roderick Agius.

The Malta Journalism Awards will be held in November.
