ALFRED FRIED PHOTOGRAPHY AWARD

The Alfred Fried Photography Award is awarded annually to a photograph that best signifies the theme of peace. Named for Austrian pacifist, author and 1911 Nobel Peace Prize recipient Alfred Hermann Fried, the award was established in 2013 by the Österreichische Photographische Gesellschaft and Edition Lammerhuber. It is given annually in partnership with IPI, UNESCO, the Austrian Parliament, and the Austrian Parliamentary Reporting Association.

Visit the Award’s official site to learn more.

In addition to the awards above, IPI may occasionally recognise individuals for exceptional contributions
to the defence of IPI’s core values. Separately, IPI’s National Committees may also independently
confer awards. These are generally announced on our website.
