The International Print Masters
Be part of a celebration of print, artistry and exceptional photographic craft.
The judging is underway and the International Print Masters 2026 finalists will soon be selected. At the Big Bash, their work moves from the judging room to the walls, brought to life as a stunning print exhibition at White Rabbit Studios.
The evening will see the results revealed and the very best of this year’s competition celebrated, culminating in the announcement of the International Print Master 2026.
With entries from photographers both in the UK and internationally, the Print Masters celebrates the skill, creativity and impact of the printed image, work created to be seen and experienced beyond the screen.
For over 120 years, the BIPP has championed excellence in professional photography, and the International Print Masters continues that tradition by recognising outstanding photographic work and celebrating it amongst peers.

The BIPP Photographer of the Year
One of the biggest moments of the Big Bash will be the announcement of the BIPP Photographer of the Year 2026, celebrating outstanding photography from across our membership.
This award is the culmination of a year of creativity, skill and consistency. Throughout 2026, BIPP members have entered their work into our Members’ Monthly Competition, putting their images in front of experienced judges and earning recognition along the way.
Now, the strongest work from across the year comes together one final time.
For more than 120 years, the BIPP has championed professional photography and the photographers behind it. Photographer of the Year continues that tradition, recognising not only an exceptional image, but the talent, dedication and creative vision within our professional community.
At the Big Bash, we’ll bring our members, emerging photographers, industry partners and friends together to celebrate that achievement.
Who will be crowned BIPP Photographer of the Year 2026?
Join us at White Rabbit Studios and be there when we reveal the winner.

About our venue
White Rabbit Studio
This year, the Big Bash heads to the heart of Shoreditch, one of London’s most creative neighbourhoods, as we take over White Rabbit Studios for the day.
Set within 10,000 sq ft of transformed Victorian railway arches, White Rabbit is a working photography and creative venue where original industrial character meets modern studio space. Its three interconnected studios have been designed for photography, film, events and creative production, making it a fitting home for a day dedicated to our industry.
From the impressive scale of Studio One and its 7-metre infinity cove, to the character and natural light of Studio Three, the venue gives us the freedom to create different spaces throughout the Big Bash for learning, conversation, networking, industry partners and, as day turns to night, our awards celebration.
White Rabbit has welcomed major brands and creative organisations including The North Face, The Guardian, Havas and WPP, and sits right in the Shoreditch Triangle, surrounded by the energy of London’s creative community.
It’s not a traditional conference venue and that’s exactly why we chose it.
A creative space, for a creative industry, and the perfect setting for the Big Bash 2026.
