The Jerwood/Photoworks Awards is a biennial award given to emerging photographers in the UK who make their own photography, or those who use photographs, archives or found photography. In 2011, Photoworks merged with Brighton Photo Biennial. In 1997, the organisation moved to Maidstone and then in 2003 to Brighton. It initially consisted of founding director and curator Anne McNeill and projects manager Liz Kent. Photoworks formed out of the Cross Channel Photographic Mission (CCPM) arts project in St Leonards-on-Sea in 1995. Its internationally recognised programme includes commissions, exhibitions, publishing, learning and large-scale public events. Photoworks in collaboration with local, national and international partners, connect artists with diverse audiences. Photoworks is a registered charity, funded by Arts Council England and one of Arts Council England's National Portfolio Organisations. It has published photography books by Daniel Meadows, Mark Power, Stephen Gill, Rinko Kawauchi and Joachim Schmid, and published books written or edited by Val Williams. It fosters new talent through the organisation of the Jerwood/Photoworks Awards in collaboration with the Jerwood Charitable Foundation.
