Women Photograph Project Grants 2024

Women Photograph is excited to announce its 2024 project grants for women and nonbinary photographers.

Overview

The grants are open to women, nonbinary, transgender, and intersex documentary photographers of any nationality. Central to Women Photograph’s mission is to be inclusive of and support work from photographers who represent a diverse range of identities, geographies, and experiences. Photographers do not need to be a member of Women Photograph to apply.

Thanks to support from MPB, 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, at least one of which will be earmarked for a nonbinary or transgender photographer. Funding may be used to cover the hard costs of reporting, photographers’ creative fees, and any other expenses that support the production of new work. This grant is not meant to support the production of books, exhibitions, workshops, or other secondary materials.

Practical Info

Photographers 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 (but please specify in your application if the images are unrelated to your proposal). Applicants must submit up to 20 images, and all information regarding the submitted work, including title, project description, and budget.
