Grants of $10,000 for Women Photographers from Women Photograph 2019

Women Photograph is excited to announce their 2019 project grants for women photographers.

Categories:

1. Women Photograph + Nikon Grants: These $5,000 grants will support photography projects — either new or in-progress — from visual journalists working in a documentary capacity.
   • Five grants are available.
   • Applicants are encouraged to submit a story, rather than singles, as part of the grant application.
   • The images need not be related to the project proposal.
   • Multimedia projects are welcome.
2. Women Photograph + Getty Images Grant: Women Photograph has partnered with Getty Images to award a $10,000 grant in support of an ongoing documentary project from a professional photojournalist who has demonstrated a long-term commitment to their story.
   • Applicants should submit portfolios of 20-25 images indicating that a substantial amount of work has already been completed, and that the photographer has a clear vision of what further work is needed to complete the project.
   • Additional consideration will be given to applicants who evince a personal connection to – and engagement with – the communities they cover.

General criteria:

1. These grants are open to women documentary photographers of any nationality.
2. There is no fee to apply.
3. Applications must be submitted in English.
4. There are no restrictions on camera equipment used for either grant.
5. For all grants, half of the funding will be disbursed at the beginning of the project, and half upon completion.
