Explorer's Grant

Explorer's Grant

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. We have $10000 in total available for travel and production, $10000 in total to donate to causes and $5000 in total for promotion and production. 

Applications have closed as of 30th September 2018, and the 2018 recipients have been announced.
