Vital Impacts, a women-led non-profit focused on harnessing the power of art and storytelling, is accepting applications for its environmental photography grants.
The grants will fund documentary projects that spotlight solutions-based environmental narratives. They are particularly interested in projects about the Pacific Northwest and the Amazon rainforest.
The Vital Impacts Environmental Photography Grants aim to champion the power of visual storytelling in driving positive change for the planet.
“We’re offering one grant totalling $20,000 and six grants worth $5,000 each, all dedicated to nurturing documentary projects that spotlight solutions-based environmental narratives,” said the organisation.
Recipients will have the opportunity to work on their projects for twelve months, bringing these impactful stories to life.
In addition to the grants, Vital Impacts will select ten emerging photographers to participate in an intensive mentorship program and will invite all applicants to participate in an online mentorship series.
One established photographer will receive a US$20,000 grant and five emerging photographers will receive a US$5,000 grant each to develop their projects.
Established and emerging environmental photographers around the world can apply for this grant.
The application deadline is September 15, 2024. Interested applicants can apply here.
