Do you have a story to tell that could change the world?
We know that photographers and storytellers have the creativity to solve problems, and the skills to record a unique story along the way. So we’re giving you the chance to do both. It’s called the Explorer's Grant.
In 2018, we will be providing grants to problem solvers, creative geniuses and experience collectors who are trying to make the world, or their community a little better. And, if you receive a grant, we won’t just back you financially, we will give you the platform to share your story.
We’ve set aside $25,000 in total for the 2018 program to be shared between our photographic story tellers and the cause in need.
Applications open on July 1st and close September 30th 2018 - see our grant criteria below for all the details and to submit your application!
