The AIB Press Photographer of the Year Award 2023, which recognises excellence in Irish press photography, were presented at a special ceremony in Dublin earlier this year by An Tánaiste Micheál Martin TD across 10 distinct categories – News, Daily Life & People, Sports Action, Sports Feature, Portrait, Nature & the Environment, Politics, Arts & Entertainment, Reportage, and Multimedia in addition to the newly launched AIB Sustainability Award.
Mark Condren of the Irish Independent/Sunday Independent was awarded the AIB Press Photographer of the Year 2023 title, his sixth time winning this award. Offaly native, James Crombie of Inpho Photography, picked up an award for 3rd Place in the Sports Action category for his image entitled, ‘Clash of the Ash’.
David Branigan, President of the Press Photographers Association of Ireland, commented: “We are delighted that the AIB Press Photographer of the Year Award exhibition will be visiting Birr as part of this year’s Vintage Week & Arts Festival. We hope that visitors throughout the week-long event will enjoy browsing through the award-winning and highly commended imagery which showcases the very best of Irish press photography.”
