The Joana Biarnés Fellowship aims to support the professional development of young photojournalists, between 18 and 35 years old, who share the concerns and values of the best visual journalism. It seeks to promote the visibility of topics that require public awareness and social reflection, focusing on national issues.

Finalists benefit from a portfolio review session with a Fundación Photographic Social Vision collaborator, a narrative journalism workshop organised by 5W, an independent magazine dedicated to narrative journalism and photography, and three months of free access to its online content.

The scholarship is open to photojournalists aged 18 to 35 who demonstrate a commitment to visual journalism and social issues, with projects focused on Spain.

A jury of renowned experts will evaluate the works received and will award 8,000 euros to the author or team selected to carry out their research within Spanish territory. In addition, whoever obtains the Fellowship will be supported by the advice of a tutor with extensive teaching and professional experience to develop their photojournalistic research for nine months. During this period, the author(s) will be able to use the temporary loan of photographic equipment, provided by Foto Ruano Pro, to carry out the research. The project will have a guarantee of support by the Photographic Foundation in the most appropriate format or support.
