PhMuseum 2024 Women Photographers Grant

$11,000 in cash plus a solo show at PhMuseum Lab, screenings at Photo Vogue Festival, and more

The PhMuseum Women Photographers Grant, now in its 8th edition, aims to empower the work and careers of female and non-binary professionals of all ages and from all countries working in diverse areas of photography. Its mission is to support the growth of the new generations and promote stories narrated from a female perspective while responding to the need to work for gender equality in the industry.

To participate, you are invited to submit one or more projects centred around a specific theme, narrative or concept. All approaches are welcome from classic to more experimental projects, and you can present more than one work. By applying you retain full copyright or your images at all times, and we’ll ask for your permission to share them on our social media channels.

The judging will happen between October and November with the shortlist to be announced before 20 November. Thanks for considering this opportunity and good luck with your applications!
