Photographer (identify as woman) to capture our first ever Girls in Dance Festival in Birmingham on Monday 28th July 

What will you be doing?

We’re AWA DANCE, a feminist charity based in Birmingham focused on empowering girls through leadership and dance. We are preparing our very first Girls in Dance Festival (28 July 2025), a pioneering event for teenage girls that includes dance classes, a panel discussion, a short performance, interactive stalls, and more — all designed to inspire confidence, leadership, and changemaking. You can read more about the festival here: Girls in Dance Festival.

We’re looking for a photographer (identified as woman) to attend the entire festival day in person, helping us capture the energy, joy and power of this one-of-a-kind event. You’ll photograph the atmosphere, dancing, interactions, and crucially — at least one strong image of each of the festival’s interactive stalls.

Please check our website to find out more

What are we looking for?

Photographer with experience capturing real life situations, and comfortable with photographing large groups of people

Also with interest to capture life emotions, and the vibe of the event

What difference will you make?

Your images will become part of the visual legacy of the festival and will be used to share its impact with future attendees, partners, and supporters. You’ll be helping us showcase the vibrancy and value of girls taking up space, moving with confidence, and celebrating who they are.

You’ll be supported by our team on the day and credited in any public use of your work.
