Getty Images has announced a new grant offered in collaboration with
Instagram. There are a total of three grants available, each for $10,000
USD, and will be awarded to photographers using Instagram to document
underrepresented communities. Recipients will also be given a mentorship
opportunity with Getty Images’ photographers. The trio of grants will
lend financial support to photographers using Instagram to share their
projects and tell visual stories. To be considered for the grant,
interested Instagram users must submit an application on Getty's
website.
Judges will evaluate applicants' existing Instagram photography, with
the quality, projects/stories, and visual storytelling all being taken
into consideration. In addition to submitting Instagram photos,
applicants must also provide a bio, their plans for the funds, and
details on their approach to using Instagram. Submissions are open from
May 7 to June 4, 2015 at 11:59PM London Time. The winners will be
announced this upcoming September.
