Congratulations to Gareth Kingdon (University of Wales, Newport), winner of the 2010 Document Photography Award. Kingdon’s photographs captured in vivid detail the daily life of residents of Kibera, Kenya, Africa’s largest slums and one of the most densely populated places on earth. As winner of the award Kingdon earned an opportunity to spend several weeks working in South Africa, where thousands of people are being displaced ahead of the 2010 Football World Cup.

War on Want and Bond and Coyne, co-organisers of the award, also congratulate the five shortlisted candidates:

Paul Corcoran, University of Newport; Marianne van Loo, Blackpool and the Fylde College; Francesco Stelitano, London College of Communication; and Victor Yuliev, St. Petersburg Journalist’s Union, who earned the prize for best international entry.
