For the third consecutive year, the International Press Institute (IPI) has partnered with the Photographische Gesellschaft (PHG) and Edition Lammerhuber to present the 2016 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, and is given annually in partnership with IPI, UNESCO, the Austrian Parliament and the Austrian Parliamentary Reporting Association.
