Graduaton Performances of Mongolian Dance Students by Gol Tengis

Since 2013, we have run an annual competition for postgraduate students to showcase their fieldwork photographs.

Each student submits three captioned photographs, along with a short narrative of their fieldwork.

Judging is based on the quality and content of photographs. Special consideration is given to images which convey a strong sense of human life and experience in the setting depicted.

 


2025 Competition

This year, the submissions reflected a striking range of ethnographic subjects and visual approaches – from spirit beliefs and altered states to oyster farming and funeral practices.
