W
e are delighted to
announce the launch of
the fi rst MPB Rising Star
Bursary – a unique
chance for an amateur photographer to
win the opportunity of a lifetime to work on
a specifi c photographic project. The
bursary will provide an ongoing

specialists MPB and £5,000 towards
expenses, along with technique,
motivational support and mentoring from a
suite of professional photographers, as well
as the editorial staff at AP.
The theme of this inaugural bursary is
‘Change’. After all, change is the one
constant in today’s fast-moving world.
Around the globe, there is evidence of
change, be it environmental or climate
change, major political change, social and
personal change, changing communities,
people striving to be a force for change,or any other interpretation of ‘change’. For
photographers, images related to change
could be found on your doorstep or on
the other side of the world. This bursary is
designed to give inspired photographers
the tools, technique and funds to
document change and in doing so, impact
positive change through photography.Open to all amateurs
Although this is called the MPB Rising
Star Bursary, it is open to anyone who is
classifi ed as an amateur photographer –
in other words, anyone who does not
make their primary income from the fi eld
of photography. So there is no age limit
and your images don’t need to have been
published before or won any kind of
award or competition. To be considered
for this bursary you just need to an
amateur and be able to demonstrate you
can shoot a great project on ‘Change’.Amateur Photographer has teamed up with used specialists,
MPB, to announce the very fi rst MPB Rising Star Bursary. It’s
open to amateur photographers of any age or experience level
