The Grants for Editorial Photography

Photojournalists looking to pursue projects of personal and journalistic significance can apply for a grant.

The Grants for Editorial Photography, sponsored by Getty Images, support compelling social, political and cultural stories. Grants of US$20,000 each will be given to four photojournalists. In addition, one grant will be awarded, in conjunction with The Chris Hondros Fund, for extraordinary news coverage of a current event.

Both professional and student photojournalists are encouraged to apply. There is also an opportunity for young photographers to receive mentoring and support through the emerging talent award. Applicants must be under the age of 25 or currently enrolled in a full time photojournalism program.

Judges include Whitney Johnson, the director of photography at The New Yorker and Kira Pollack, the director of photography at Time Magazine.
