KLPA2022 exhibition catalogue Appeal

An Appeal

We are crowdfunding for funds to cover the printing costs for our annual catalogues that accompany each year's exhibitions and appeal to you, our generous followers and friends, individuals, and organisations to help support this appeal.

The catalogues are a vital part of our exhibitions, as they display each year's winners, finalists, judges and comments as a record and honour of the photographer's works.

We welcome any amount to go towards the printing costs.

Dear Friends and Followers of KLPA,

This year, for the first time, we are making an appeal to you. KLPA are in total support and solidarity with the people of Ukraine and they need assistance. KLPA will pledge to donate 100% of all net entry fees from the 2022 open call to support the humanitarian needs of the millions of displaced Ukrainians who are desperately seeking shelter, clothes, and food.

Therefore, KLPA2022 is a unique one, where our prizemoney which is usually funded from entry fees will all go towards the cause. Entry fees received with be donated equally to Disasters Emergency Committee and United Nations Crisis Response for Ukraine charities.

Instead, we are presenting the top three winners with Canon digital cameras courtesy of KLPA, and our Top 45 finalists with an online and physical exhibition in Kuala Lumpur at the end of 2022.

KLPA is run by a very small and dedicated team maintaining the highest possible standards to promote portrait photography amongst Malaysians and internationally, and has always operated on a self-funded basis. We do not have external funding sources, apart from sponsorships of prizes, venues, printing and volunteered time.
