Women Photograph + Leica Project Grants 2026
- Deadline: 1 July 2026
- Website: https://www.womenphotograph.com/grants-2026
Thanks to generous support from Leica USA, these three $10,000 grants will support photography projects — either new or in-progress — from visual journalists working in a documentary capacity.
Funding may be used to cover the hard costs of reporting, photographers’ creative fees, and any other expenses that support the production of new work. This grant is not meant to support the production of books, exhibitions, workshops, or other secondary materials.
Applicants are encouraged to submit a story, rather than singles, as part of the grant application. The images need not be related to the project proposal (but please specify in your application if the images are unrelated to your proposal).
Fees:
Free
Prizes:
Three grantees will be selected to receive $10,000 each to support their project.
Eligibility:
These grants are open to women, nonbinary, transgender, and intersex documentary photographers of any nationality. Central to Women Photograph’s mission is to be inclusive of and support work from photographers who represent a diverse range of identities, geographies, and experiences. You do not need to be a member of Women Photograph to apply.
