A short application, by our reading.

1. CHECK YOURSELF AGAINST WHAT THEY ASK
[ ] aged 18 to 30
[ ] enrolled on a photography programme
[ ] your institution has to be one of the universities registered with the World Photography Organisation, so check that before you spend time on the brief

2. WHAT TO GET READY
It asks for something outside the usual documents; read it below.
In their words: "five to ten JPEG images, 1 to 5 MB, sRGB, EXIF data intact"

3. DATES
- Closes 27 November 2026, in 35 days.
- On the date, the listing says: 27 November 2026 at 16.00 GMT
- Aim to send it by 24 November 2026. Websites slow down near a deadline, and data runs out. (our advice)

A job never asks you to pay to apply. A listing that charges shows the fee above, and it is paid only to the organisation. If anyone asks for money any other way, stop, and tell us: hello@qualifyafrica.com
