Fujifilm x FOTEA: Partnership to equip the next generation of photographers

FOTEA is excited to announce its strategic partnership with Fujifilm. 

Through this partnership, FOTEA and Fujifilm, one of the leading camera manufacturers worldwide, will combine expertise to equip photographers by awarding gear to the winners of the annual photography competitions; the Uganda Press Photo Award, the East African Photography Award for Stories and Single Images and, the Young Photographer Award. This partnership will also play a critical role in supporting the 2025 Emerging Photographer Mentorship Programme under which a series of workshops will be hosted to build the capacities of the next generation of photographers in Uganda. 

FOTEA’s core mission is to work with photographers within Uganda and the East Africa region, amplifying their voices as well as strengthening capacities and enhancing their ability to document ongoing histories. We are excited for this collaboration to broaden access to professional equipment which remains a core industry challenge for many active photographers across the region.
