Women Photograph Grant FAQs

Do the applications need to be in English?

Yes. While the work itself does not need to be in English, as of right now, applications need to be in English otherwise they won’t be considered. If English isn’t your first language, we recommend using Google Translate to help complete your application

Do video projects qualify for a grant?

Projects must have a still photography component. We will not award films or documentaries for this grant, but if video is a component of your project, along with still photography, it will be considered.

Do I need to have already started the project that I’m applying for in the grant?

No, you’re welcome to apply to the grant for projects that are already in progress or that haven’t begun yet.

What kind of images should I submit in the application?

If you have already started the project you intend to continue with grant funding, you may include some of the existing material. If you haven’t yet started working on the project, we recommend submitting a story, rather than singles. The images do not need to be related to the project proposal.

Can I apply with my artist name or do I need to apply with my legal name?

You may apply with your artist name.

Can I apply to both the Women Photograph Project Grants and the Women Photograph + Getty Images Scholarship?

Yes, but you may only apply to one of the five Getty Images Inclusion Scholarships in 2021.

If I applied last year, can I apply again this year?

Yes.

Do I need to be a Women Photograph member to apply?

No, the grants are open to all women, nonbinary, and transgender photographers.

Did you receive my application?

Though you won’t receive a follow up email after you submit your application, we did receive it.

Will you extend the deadline?

Due to the volume of grants we receive each year, we cannot extend the deadline. Please be sure to note the date and time for when applications close: May 15th at 11:59pm Eastern Time.

When will you announce the winners?

We will announce the 2023 grant recipients in July.
