Welcome to UK Picture Editors Guild Awards
Hundreds of the UK’s Photojournalism elite gathered to honour the winners in this year’s UK Picture Editors’ Guild Awards (UKPEG) at the headquarters of the Honourable Artillery Company in London(October 16th 2023).
The black-tie event was hosted by The Rt Hon. Lord Bassam of Brighton who was accompanied on stage by cutting-edge comedian Louise Bastock . The overall winner of the UKPEG Photographer of the Year award was Chris Furlong of Getty Images for the second year running, a first since the Guilds first awards in 2010. One of the 10 judges, Alex Cohen, Director of Pictures for The Sun, said of his work, ’He won my vote because of the range of his wonderful photographs - deeply moving images of the Queen's funeral, powerful weather pictures and a heartfelt dispatch from Ukraine.’’ The UK Picture Editors’ Guild also paid tribute to two stalwarts of the industry who stepped down this year from their demanding roles who received Lifetime Achievement Awards. Paul Silva, Picture Editor for the Daily Mail, for more than 34 years. He said that he was looking forward to not getting up at 4.30am and returning home at 10pm daily. Another titan of the industry, Martin Keen, former Group Picture Editor of the Press Association, stepped down from his role as Picture Editor in-charge of Ceremonial events. He now has this award to add to the Royal Victorian Order that recognises distinguished personal service to Queen Elizabeth II. Other highlights included another first - a father and daughter appearance both taking Highly Commended Awards. Paul Ellis of AFP in the Canon Sports Photographer of the Year and his daughter Annabel Lee-Ellis from the University of Gloucestershire in the Nikon Student Photographer of the Year. The IMAGO Photograph of the Year received 9,210 votes from a global public audience. The winning image was by the Press Association’s Jane Barlow of Queen Elizabeth II, taken days before her death, at Balmoral Castle, Scotland
