Open Society Institute: Documentary Photography Distribution Grant
Podporu nových způsobů prezentace dokumentární fotografie nabízí Open Society Institute v rámci programu Documentary Photography Distribution Grant. Podpořeni budou fotografové, kteří navrhnou nové možnosti použití fotografie jako advokačního nástroje s cílem dosáhnout pozitivních společenských změn. Granty ve výši 5 000 - 30 000 USD jsou podmíněné spoluprácí fotografa s dalším subjektem (neziskovou či komunitní organizací), která se bude podílet nejen na zveřejnění fotografií ale i na celkovém cíli projektu. Termín podání projektů je 20. června 2008. Podpora není určena na lobbystické aktivity.
Open Society Institute Seeks Proposals for Documentary - Photography Distribution Grant
Deadline: June 20, 2008
The Open Society Institute Documentary Photography Project is offering a grant to documentary photographers who have already completed a significant body of work on issues of social justice to collaborate with a partner organization and propose new ways of using photography as a tool for positive social change.
All photographers must have another entity (such as a nonprofit, NGO, or community-based organization) that will work with the photographer to design an innovative distribution strategy that targets specific communities and advocates for social change.
To be eligible for support, proposals must: present strong images that are contextualized, when necessary, with text, sound, or other media; address a current social justice issue (preference will be given to work that coincides with the issues and geographical areas that concern OSI); and engage a specific audience, community, and/or site and use creative distribution strategies that are tailored specifically for that context.
Applicants must partner with an organization that will provide administrative, programmatic, and financial and/or in-kind support.
Grants of $5,000 to $30,000 each will be awarded.
