Pulitzer Center/Diversity Photo Eyewitness Photojournalism Grant 2023 (up to $3,000)
Deadline: 30th of June, 2023
The Pulitzer Center/Diversity Photo Eyewitness Photojournalism Grant 2023 is now accepting applications. The purpose of this award is to create visual stories about and by photojournalists from historically underrepresented populations.
They ask photojournalists to submit suggestions for stories about systemic and underreported challenges in our communities, such as racial justice, climate change, environmental justice, gender equality, and human rights. The Eyewitness Photojournalism Grant is open to photojournalists worldwide, with a preference towards those who work in their home areas.
About Pulitzer Center & Diversity Photo
The Pulitzer Center, founded in 2006 and based in Washington, DC, has become a major source of support for enterprise reporting on global issues — and an innovative leader in working with schools and universities to bring those issues into classrooms everywhere. The Center now supports over 150 reporting projects a year. Its work with the Associated Press covering the war in Yemen won a Pulitzer Prize for international reporting.
Diversify Photo is a community of BIPOC and non-western photographers, editors, and visual producers working to break with the predominantly colonial and patriarchal eye through which history and the media have recorded the images of our time. Their curated database is used by editors at major media outlets seeking to expand their talent rosters.
