The funds can be used to cover a wide variety of expenses that will enable you to carve out the time you need to produce the project. It can also cover the costs associated with the actual production of the work, such as travel, equipment and related expenses.
Grants will be funded soon after winners are publicly announced in September. This year, grant-winners will receive the full amount of the grant in one installment.
We trust that the winning photographers will work in accordance with the grant requirements. Furthermore, because, where appropriate, our editors will be working with grant recipients throughout the project, they will provide the support needed to bring the projects to completion. Should geopolitical circumstances or other access issues prevent a grant recipient from completing their proposed project, we will work with them to find alternate ways to tell their stories.
Getty Images will promote winning portfolios on the Getty Images website, through our social media channels, and via our media partners, who typically publicize our grants program following the announcement of winners in September.
