Rebecca Vassie Trust

We are delighted to announce Rebecca Conway as the winner of the sixth Rebecca Vassie Memorial Award for her proposal 'Torn Water', a project exploring the long-term psychological impact of civil conflict in South Asia: rebeccavassietrust.org/2025/07/06/reb…

Highly commended: Richard Gosnold's 'Apostate' sets out to explore the personal impact and aftermath for people leaving high-control religions, working with the charity Faith to Faithless across the UK and Ireland and celebrating individual resilience.

Highly Commended: Kat Wood’s proposal 'A place beyond the fields' seeks to document women farmers in the North of England diversifying into non-agricultural part-time jobs to sustain their land, highlighting the shifting realities and financial precariousness of modern farming.

Congratulations to Rebecca Conway, Richard Gosnold, Bethany Hobbs, Kadi Jatta, Leia Morrison and Kat Wood who are all shortlisted for the Rebecca Vassie Memorial Award 2025!

Ten years ago, we lost Beccy. It’s hard to believe it’s been a decade, and hard to know what to make of this calendar milestone – if anything. Our photography charity exists for the saddest of reasons.
