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!

Later this month we’ll be sharing a collection of Beccy’s own work on Instagram, but for now, we’ll share her memory, and her smile.

If you’re reading this, perhaps you’ll take a moment to think about the Beccys in your life – be they family, friend or anything between – and reflect on what you cherish in the people you love.

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.

We are delighted to announce that the sixth Rebecca Vassie Memorial Award is now open for entries, with a submission deadline of 31 March 2025. Head over to our website for all the details: rebeccavassietrust.org/2025/02/02/reb…

We're delighted that our fifth and most recent winner of the Rebecca Vassie Memorial Award, Jamie Sinclair, will be screening his film 'Hjem' made possible by the award. The Opening is Thursday @Photobookcafe1 - come and join him for a viewing at 7:30pm.

By remapping queerness, diaspora, and family within new spatial-temporal relationships, the series aims to unveil identity as a fragmented experience that continually transforms. #vassietrusttakeover #photography

Exploring family archives, self-portraits, and still life photography, William Zou's first photography project “soliloquy” interweaves and oscillates between personal past and present. See more next week at instagram.com/vassietrust/
