Ingetje has won numerous awards for this body of work including the Walkley Award for Excellence in Photojournalism - Feature Photographic Essay - 2015; the Amnesty International Media Award 2015, photography; Best Feature Photographic Essay at the West Australian Media Awards 2015; the Exposure Award, digital display at The Louvre in Paris 2015.
