Enter this year’s Rory Peck Awards

The Rory Peck Awards are uniquely dedicated to the work of freelance cameramen and women in news and current affairs worldwide. These are the freelance videojournalists, filmmakers and news camera operators who contribute so much to today’s international newsgathering and to our understanding of the world. Established in 1995, the Rory Peck Awards showcase their work and demonstrate why they deserve recognition and support.
