Allard Prize Photography Competition 2027

The Allard Prize Photography Competition is run by the Peter A. Allard School of Law at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver. It awards images on themes of courage and leadership in combating corruption, especially through promoting transparency, accountability, the rule of law, and human rights. No 2026 results were published; the most recent winner galleries on the site are from November 2021. The site invites entries year-round, free of charge, says winners are selected once annually shortly after the submission deadline, and awards up to six photographs per cycle at CAD 1,000 each, but names no dates for a 2027 cycle. The terms and conditions do not mention AI or RAW files.

The Allard Prize seeks entries that reflect courage and leadership in combating corruption and protecting human rights. The competition terms and conditions linked from the site (the 2022 PDF is still the current version) contain no language on AI, generative imagery, editing limits or RAW files, so both policy fields are unspecified. Entrants only warrant that the people, situation, context and location in a photograph are accurately represented. The site names no deadline for the current cycle and the latest published winner galleries date from November 2021.
