Vital Impacts Environmental Photography Fellowships and Mentorship
About this opportunity
Vital Impacts funds local photographers telling environmental stories from within their own communities. Seven fellowships (one at USD 20,000 and six at USD 5,000) give recipients twelve months to develop their projects with support to publish and exhibit the results, and ten emerging photographers are chosen for an intensive mentorship programme focused on growth and craft.
Application tips
The fellowships favour long-term projects and existing relationships with the people and places you are documenting, so show that depth. You can apply in English or your native language. The USD 25 fee is waived for applicants from developing countries and can be waived for economic hardship: email [email protected] for a code. Previous applicants can reapply.
