Photojournalists can apply for a US$3,500 grant

Photojournalists from Central Asia, the South Caucasus, Afghanistan, Mongolia and Pakistan can apply for a US$3,500 grant.

The Open Society Documentary Photography Project and Arts and Culture Program presents a grant and training opportunity for photographers to produce a photo essay on a current human rights or social issue in the region.

Grantees will participate in two master-level workshops on visual storytelling through photography and multimedia. These workshops are led by internationally recognized photographers and industry professionals who will then provide ongoing mentorship and support throughout the six-month grant term.

The Open Society Foundations will pay travel and hotel expenses and provide a per diem to cover meals and incidentals for the workshops.

The grant term runs November 2012-June 2013. Apply by May 10.
