The Nikon Fotobus Grant supports young and student photographers in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland with three awards of €5,000, €3,000, and €2,000, plus Nikon cameras.
Overview
The grant welcomes photographers who are either enrolled in a full-time university program or are not older than 30 years. Funding is provided for the continuation of a photographic project that has already been started. All genres of photography are welcome.
A total of three project grants will be awarded, for €5,000, €3,000 and €2,000. Each of the three supported projects will receive a Nikon camera. The total amount of the grant will be paid out immediately after the announcement of the winners. There are no requirements for the use of the grant.
Practical Info
All photographers who, at the time of submission, are either enrolled in a full-time university program in Germany, Austria, or Switzerland or are not older than 30 years and reside in Germany, Austria or Switzerland are eligible to participate. The nationalities of the applicants are not relevant. Group projects of two or more photographers are permitted, but all members of the group must meet the eligibility requirements.
Submissions must consist of a project description, a maximum of 30 images in total and a biography. Individuals may submit only one application, but may additionally participate in a group application. The same project may be submitted again the following year if it has not yet received funding from the Nikon Fotobus Grant.
