Your vision. Realized.

For us, photography is more than our business – it's our passion. And we believe we have a responsibility to the talented artists who push our industry forward.

That's why in 2005, we launched our grants program. Our goal is to enable photographers to bring attention to significant social and cultural issues, as well as to take new and inspiring strides in creative work.

Grant recipients are selected by a diverse and distinguished panel of independent judges renowned in the field of photography. These experts have directed and edited photography for some of the most celebrated publications in the world, and their involvement elevates our competition.
