The W. Eugene Smith Grant in Humanistic Photography is presented annually to a photographer whose past work and proposed project, as judged by a panel of experts, follows the tradition of W. Eugene Smith’s concerned photography and dedicated compassion exhibited during his 45-year career as a photographic essayist.

The W. Eugene Smith Grant in Humanistic Photography was established in 1978 following the death of Gene Smith, the legendary American photo essayist. It is today the most prestigious honor in documentary photography. Every year it recognizes a photographer who has demonstrated an exemplary commitment to documenting the human condition in the spirit of Smith’s concerned photography and dedicated compassion.

The W. Eugene Smith Memorial Fund independently administers the grant program that provides photographers with the financial freedom to carry out or complete major photographic essays. For 2011, the amount of the grant will be $30,000. An additional $5,000 in fellowship money will be dispersed, at the discretion of the jury, to one or more finalists deemed worthy of special recognition. Awards will be presented in a ceremony held in New York City in early October.

Grants for Good

We proudly support photographers and communications professionals who use imagery to promote positive change in our world. To that end, we’ve launched our Grants for Good.

Nonprofits need imagery to tell their stories effectively, which is why our Grants for Good provide two grants of $15,000 annually, to cover photographer, filmmaker and agency costs as they create compelling new imagery for the nonprofit of their choice.

Grants recipients may use the entire award to offset shoot expenses, or choose to donate all or part of it directly to their charity and contribute their own time and resources. The photographer and the nonprofit as well as the communications agency involved will be showcased to the media and to our customers.

Feel free to contact us with questions about our Grants for Good at

Os projetos de fotografia documental deverão já estar concluídos e abordar questão de justiça social ou direitos humanos, que inspirem visualmente o público e que sirvam de catalisador para mudanças sociais.

A Open Society Foundations financia projetos que além da documentação, utilizam a fotografia como um mecanismo para promover a participação e a organização civil, defesa, divulgação, sensibilização, educação e atenção da mídia.

A “Bolsa de Estímulo a novas formas de apresentação de Fotografia Documental ao Público” é destinada a projetos de documentação fotográfica que registram as violações dos direitos humanos, personalizam os efeitos dos conflitos, documentam as lutas e desafios das pessoas marginalizadas e que de alguma maneira tentam mudar o discurso do Estado.

A Documentary Photography Project (DPP) é uma iniciativa da Open Society Foundations, organização internacional sem fins lucrativos e não-governamental fundada por George Soros.

Sobre o Programa

Call for Proposals: Documentary Photography Audience Engagement Grant

A Grant to Encourage New Ways of Presenting Documentary Photography to the Public

The Open Society Documentary Photography Project is offering a grant to support alternative models for presenting and disseminating documentary photography to the public.

The Audience Engagement Grant (formerly called the Distribution Grant) supports photographers to take an existing body of work on a social justice or human rights issue and devise an innovative way of using that work as a catalyst for social change.

We are interested in well-designed projects that inspire audiences visually and create meaningful interactions with photographic content.

Projects should combine existing bodies of work with programming or tools that give viewers a deeper, more nuanced understanding of issues and empower them to participate in the process of improving their own or others’ realities. Projects should also include a partnership between a photographer and an organization that combines expertise in documentary photography with experience working on the topic or community the project addresses.

Five to eight grants of $5,000 to $30,000 will be awarded.

Deadlines

Letter of intent (optional): Friday, March 11, 2011, 5pm EST

Completed online application: Friday, May 13, 2011, 5pm EST

Noorderlicht Call for Submissions Photofestival 2011

The main exhibition at Noorderlicht 2011, METROPOLIS, City Life in the Urban Age, deals with the role of the city as the nerve centre of modern global society. It is the second part of a diptych, a follow-up to the 2010 theme LAND, Country Life in the Urban Age, which looked at the shrinking role of the countryside worldwide.

The city, as a phenomenon, has an almost schizophrenic character; its many personalities are constantly encountering one another. It is our intention that these multiple personalities will emerge in the structure of the exhibition, running the gamut from utopia to dystopia.

We are looking for photo series that present a distinctive, even idiosyncratic vision on the character
of the modern city. Economic, social or urban planning aspects can each play a role; the series may be literal or metaphorical. We are striving for a global picture; the group exhibition as a whole will be a journey through cities in all parts of the world.

Submissions can be sent to Noorderlicht between now and 31 March, 2011.
