Grant-making is at the core of the Aftermath Project’s activities. Each year we open our application process to working photographers, world-wide, who are pursuing – or propose to pursue – long-term projects about the aftermath of conflict. The grant application usually goes online in mid-August, and the application deadline is in early November. Specifics are on the application form.
Applications are judged first on the level of photographic skill demonstrated in the images photographers submit with their applications. They are also judged on their project statements, which outline the aftermath story they want to cover and relevant aftermath issues.
Past judges have included Anne Wilkes Tucker (Curator of Photography, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston), Stephen Mayes (Managing Director, VII Photo Agency), Denise Wolff (Aperture), Lesley Martin (Aperture), Jeff Jacobson (photographer and board member, The Aftermath Project), Jon Levy (foto8), Maggie Steber (photographer), Darius Himes (Radius Books) and Sara Terry (photographer and founder, The Aftermath Project).
The Aftermath Project’s yearly grant is made possible by the Foundation to Promote Open Society.
