GRANTS FOR Analogue Photography
We encourage applications for analogue photography projects that will explore, expand and experiment. We are attracted to projects that push boundaries and increase awareness of analogue photography while also pursuing excellence in its application.
GRANTS FOR community photography
We welcome applications for projects which use photography for community benefit by improving the health and well-being of children and/or young people under 25.
