The Photography Foundation Grant

Social Documentary Photography Grant

Closed for Submissions - 2024 Grant will open later in the year

Founded in 2021, the The Photography Foundation Grant is delivered in partnership with The Photography Foundation and LIMI London charity providing £2,500 towards the production of a social documentary photo essay.

The Photography Foundation Grant is for a maximum 12 month period and can be used towards any combination of travel, equipment or living expenses while completing the project.

The Photography Foundation Grant winners have their final project printed and exhibited (in partnership with Rapid Eye and the Photo Book Cafe), have their work showcased on the grant partners websites & social media channels and we will be working with strategic partners to publish the completed photographic essay. Additionally, the grant winners are allocated an evening with The Photography Foundation to give a presentation about their completed project.

We welcome applications tackling a range of social issues and your application should detail clearly the social issue that is being documented and how your project intersects with it. The Photography Foundation Grant is a UK based grant and as such must have a UK focus. The grant is open to any photographer (professional or amateur) from any age range and background.

Applications for the 2024 Photography Foundation Grant will open later in the year. You must be signed up to the mailing list to apply for the Grant.
