APPLY FOR A GRANT 2021
Women Photographers Australia has a goal to get more women and girls working as photographers, more women photographers working better and more women photographers recognised for their achievements.
Running a business is hard at the best of times, but if you are also the primary care giver, juggling children and elderly relatives, going through divorce, have imposter syndrome and just learning to be strong and pragmatic about business, we want to help.
We have three $500 cash grants available for members of Women Photographers Australia.
1: The Women Photographers Australia Artist Grant, is available for a photographer planning an exhibition or publishing a photobook. The $500 will help the photographer’s printing, framing, paying for an opening, marketing or design and publishing a photobook of their own work.
2: The Women Photographers Australia Business Grant is available for a photographer to set up a new venture, promote their existing business, pay for business services, including mentoring to help their photographic enterprise.
3: The Women Photographers Australia Hardship Grant is available for a photographer who has had an unexpected downturn in the profit margin due to illness, domestic violence separation/divorce or homelessness.
