Tasweer, a new photography festival based in Qatar, announced today the open call for its inaugural Sheikh Saoud Al Thani Project and Single Image Awards. These annual, open call awards are intended to recognize and support photographers from Western Asia and North Africa.

The awards are named in honor of the late collector Sheikh Saoud Al Thani, who served as Chairman of Qatar’s National Council for Culture, Arts and Heritage from 1997 through 2005, and created the Al-Thani Award for Photography in 2000.

The Sheikh Saoud Al Thani Project Award is a grant award of 30,000 QAR per awardee to support the initiation, further development or completion of a photographic project in 2021. The project award is an annual, open call award for photographers in Western Asia and North Africa. Project Award submissions will close the 24th of November 2020. The jurors of the Sheikh Saoud Al Thani Project Award in 2021, are Charlotte Cotton, Khalifa Ahmad Al Obaidly, Maryam Hassan Al-Thani, Sheikha Sara Saoud Al Thani, Sheikha Shaikha Al-Thani, and Suraya Shaheen.

Sheikh Saoud Al Thani Single Image Award is an annual award open to photographers of all ages and degrees of experience, who are resident in Western Asia and North Africa. The open call closes on 8th November 2020. The 2021 Sheikh Saoud Al Thani Single Image Award guest jurors - the photography collective Photo Art Qatar – will select the winning single images and curate a group online exhibition; nighttime, outdoor projection and screen-based experiences. Working with the Tasweer team, Photo Art Qatar will curate a free magazine dedicated to Tasweer 2021 and the Sheikh Saoud Al Thani Awards.

Tasweer is supported by Qatar Museums under the leadership of its chairperson, Her Excellency Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani.
