Ian is honoured to have been selected for the 2013 CONTACT Portfolio Review Exhibition Award. From the CONTACT website: "At the CONTACT 2013 Portfolio Reviews, Ian Willms presented two extensive documentary projects that he has been developing for the last few years. As Long as the Sun Shines looks at the effects of Canada's oil sands extraction on the residents of indigenous reserves of northern Alberta, and Why We Walk explores the Mennonites' history of pacifism and persecution by retracing their migration path across Europe. The jury was highly impressed by Willm's intimate approach to documentary photography focused on social issues, which is enhanced by his nuanced use of colour and evocative approach to black and white. As a result of the award, Willms will mount a solo exhibition in the CONTACT Gallery in early 2014. See more of his work at ianwillms.com"

Photo by Matt Lutton. BURN Magazine is now accepting entries to the 2013 Emerging Photographer Fund. From their website: "These grants are designed to support continuation of a photographer’s personal project. This body of work may be of either a journalistic mission or purely personal artistic imperative. It was initiated by David Alan Harvey in 2008 and is awarded by the Magnum Foundation. We offer this to support emerging photographers in our craft. All types of photographers. This is not a photojournalism grant, nor an art photographers grant, but could be garnered by either or both. We just want to support committed authored photography of any ilk." Deadline is May 5, 2013. For full details, visit burnmagazine.org. Ian Willms was chosen as one of 10 finalists in last year's awards, for his continuing work in Fort Chipewyan. View the latest version of this essay here.
