Short Description

Launched in 2025 and based in Berlin, this annual photography grant aims at supporting FLINTA artists (female, lesbian, inter, non-binary, trans, agender). 

Each year, one artist is awarded €3,000 to develop a project. The focus is on giving time, support, and space to pursue new or ongoing work. We want to give visibility to artists who reflect on the world in thoughtful, critical, or imaginative ways.

No expectations of finished work. Just the possibility of time, space, and focus.

Eligibility

  • Submissions are open to self-identified FLINTA artists of any nationality or location, aged 18+. By submitting, participants confirm they are part of the FLINTA community.
  • Close friends, family members, or collaborators with ongoing personal or professional relationships with either co-founder are not eligible to apply.
  • All forms of photographic work are accepted, whether newly created or part of an ongoing project. Complementary materials in other media—such as text, film, audio, or music—are also welcome, provided that photography remains the central element of the project.
  • AI-generated images are not accepted.

Submission Requirements

A short biography (max 200 words).
A description of the project you want to submit (max. 500 words).
