Ian Parry was a 24 year old photojournalist who died while on assignment for The Sunday Times during the Romanian revolution in 1989.

To honor him his friends and family set up a scholarship where each year a competition for photographers who are either attending a full-time photography course or are under the age of 24 is held. Entrants must submit a portfolio of their work and a brief synopsis of a project they would undertake if they won. The prize is £2,500 towards their assignment. Metro Imaging also offer £500 worth of vouchers to the winner.

Additionally, World Press Photo automatically accepts the winner onto their final list of nominees for the Joop Swart Masterclass in Amsterdam.
