The PHM 2017 Women Photographers Grant aims to empower the work and careers of female and female-identifying professionals of all ages and from all countries working in diverse areas of photography. It further means to facilitate the growth of the new generations and promote stories narrated from a female perspective, while responding to the necessity to fight against gender discrimination withinthe industry.

The Grant will offer £8,000 in cash plus several additional relevant prizes meant to create real opportunities to promote the work, education, and careers of the awarded photographers. All the winning works, including 9 honourable mentions, will be projected at Photo Vogue Festival 2017 in November in Milan, Italy, and granted promotion on the PHmuseum channels. Recipients of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Prizes and the New Generation Prize will also be granted an online publication on YET Magazine.
