The purpose of the Emerging Photographer Grant is to provide a $10,000 grant to visual storytellers at the beginning of their careers, to develop impactful visual narratives. The program places particular emphasis on photographers from undeserved and diverse communities, expanding access to resources and opportunities to bring their stories to life.

Three members of the Stanley Greene Foundation’s Board of Directors will serve as a jury. The jury will meet twice. At the first meeting they will review the submitted materials, including applications, proposals and photographs. They will select finalists based on the merits of the submissions. Finalists will have a short period of time to refine their proposals and respond to questions from the jury. At the second meeting, the jury will re-visit the proposals, review new material, and make a final selection.
