Short Description

The PhMuseum Women Photographers Grant, now in its 9th edition, aims to empower the work and careers of female and non-binary professionals of all ages and from all countries working in diverse areas of photography. Its mission is to support the growth of new generations and promote stories narrated from a female perspective while responding to the need to work for gender equality in the industry.

To participate, you are invited to submit work centred around a specific theme, narrative, or concept. All approaches are welcome, from classic to more experimental projects, and you may present more than one body of work. By applying, you retain full copyright of your images at all times, and we will ask for your permission to share them on our social media channels.

The judging will take place between October and November, with the shortlist to be announced before November 20. Thank you for considering this opportunity, and best wishes for your applications!
