The Anton Gautama Professional Development Scholarship is made possible with the generous patronage of Stephen Gunawan, Lisa Gautama and the Gautama Family, created in loving memory of the late documentary photographer, Anton Gautama, who believed that the pursuit of a photographic practice requires an open mind for critique and continued learning to shape one’s photographic voice.

The Singapore International Photography Festival (SIPF) is an international platform which aims to promote the arts and the appreciation of photography arts, as well as critical thought and academic discourse on photography in Southeast Asia. The festival is organised by DECK Photography Art Centre Ltd.
