$5,000 Grants for Editorial Photography about Community Resilience from Getty Images

Getty Images is offering the Getty Images Grant for Editorial Photography: Community Resilience. Continuing its tradition of supporting in‑depth photojournalism through its Editorial Grants program, Getty Images is offering three grants of $5,000 each to photographers and videographers reporting stories of community resilience in the wake of the Covid‑19 pandemic.

About the Grant:-

• Within the grant theme (stories of community resilience in the wake of the Covid‑19 pandemic), judges will be looking for visual journalists to show how communities around the world are recovering from the pandemic’s far‑reaching impact on public health, jobs, education and other aspects of human welfare.
• Grant submissions should focus on how individuals, businesses, volunteer organizations and local governments are helping communities recover from ‑ and adapt to ‑ the long‑term disruptive challenges posed by the pandemic.
