For the fourth consecutive year, the International Press Institute (IPI) has partnered with the Photographische Gesellschaft (PHG) and Edition Lammerhuber to present the annual Alfred Fried Photography Award.

Named for Austrian pacifist, author and 1911 Nobel Peace Prize recipient Alfred Hermann Fried, the Award recognises the year’s best photograph signifying the theme of peace. The Award’s organisers seek to honour those photographs that best express the idea that our future lies in peaceful coexistence.

The Award was first established in 2013 by the Photographische Gesellschaft and Edition Lammerhuber. This year’s award is given in partnership with IPI, UNESCO, the Austrian Parliament, the Austrian Parliamentary Reporting Association and the German Youth Photography Award.
