Current Photo Contests

 

The Photocrati Fund offers grants to non-professional photographers to undertake important humanitarian and environmental photography projects. It is aimed at outstanding, up-and-coming photographers and it will provide them the resources necessary to pursue projects that will have a tangible and positive effect on the world. Awardees become Photocrati Fellows for the calendar year from the announcement of their award until the announcement of the following year’s award.

Photocrati Fund Grants are in the amount of $5,000.
The funds are intended to cover the costs of travel, lodging, and expenses for up to one-month of full time photography, though they may be used in other ways by Photocrati Fellows who pursue projects in their home region.

Each submission may contain only one project proposal. The application consists of just two items: a one-page project statement and bio, and a link to your online portfolio submitted via email to: fund@photocrati.com.
