The Emerging Young Photographer Grant

This grant is sponsored by a retired architect and urban planner. The grant of $5,000, awarded semi-annually, is intended to encourage emerging photographers between the ages of 18 and 30 with an interest in documenting their community, environment and circumstances or factors affecting their lives.
Applicants are limited to residents of the United States. Important in the judges’ consideration will be the applicant’s demonstrated interest in photography as an expression of their circumstances and the ability to communicate their interpretation of the conditions affecting their lives, using the art of photography as an instrument of social change.
This grant may be used for purposes of documenting their work by publishing a monograph, book or portfolio.http://luminous-endowment.org/grants/info/12
