Capturing the right action at the scene must be one of the most rewarding aspects for the photojournalists. We are convinced that press photography plays an essential role in creating effective and powerful stories. And this is why we continue to support this particular award.

This was stated by The Farsons Foundation Chairman Mr Bryan A. Gera during the sponsorship presentation of the Press Photography Award of the 26th edition of the Malta Journalism Awards organised by the Institute of Maltese Journalists (IĠM).

The press photography award honours the efforts of photo journalists in Malta, who enhance newspaper and magazine stories each day with their excellent work. The Farsons Foundation has been supporting the press photography award for the past 15 years. It is one of the longest award categories of the Malta Journalism Awards. The award presentation ceremony will be held on 7th May 2016.

“The finalists of each category of the Malta Journalism Awards will be announced next month. At the moment, the submissions are being evaluated by a panel of three judges,” said Karl Wright, Chairman of IĠM.
