THE EVERYDAY PROJECTS GRANT

The Everyday Projects is excited to announce our 2023 grant for photographers around the world to focus on a long-term project in their community.

—CLICK HERE TO APPLY—

DEADLINE: MAY 8

At the core of The Everyday Projects’ mission is a belief in support of photojournalists from diverse backgrounds as they develop their craft. In an effort to help provide this vital support, The Everyday Projects will award two grants to photographers to work on a long-term project in their own community.

In addition to receiving $6,000 each, the two grantees will receive mentorship for the duration of their project from photojournalist Kiana Hayeri and National Geographic photo editor Jennifer Samuel.

WHO SHOULD APPLY

• Preference will be given to photographers who have contributed to The Everyday Projects or are members of the African Photojournalism Database. In your application, you will be asked for links of your contributions to an Everyday account on Instagram. (African Photojournalism Database members can instead link to the APJD membership page).

• We will prioritize supporting projects that align with The Everyday Projects’ approach to storytelling, including:

  • Stories that defy stereotypical imagery, promote human dignity, and correct misrepresentation.

  • Projects that are rooted in documentary photography. If your project is outside of what would be considered traditional photojournalism, please explain your process in your application. This could be projects primarily consisting of portraiture, a collaborative project with the people you photograph, mixed media, etc. We are open to these creative approaches.
