About

Established in 2009, the Kuala Lumpur International Photoawards (KLPA) stands as a premier contemporary portraiture prize in Asia. It serves as a crucial conduit for photographic discourse between Southeast Asia and the international arena. The KLPA, lauded by industry authorities for its promotion of 'fresh and challenging' stories, showcases its winning pieces at distinguished venues such as the Ilham Gallery and White Box. Furthermore, it cultivates collaborations with major global festivals, including the Auckland Festival of Photography and Photolux in Italy.
