Thomson Reuters’ Photojournalism Grants 2019 for photojournalists ($5,000 USD grant)

Application Deadline: November 15, 2018.

Photojournalism grants will help young photojournalists tell original human stories from around the world.

Following the success of last year’s grant program, which saw eight recipients from across four continents selected from hundreds of high-quality entries, Reuters Pictures is again offering up to eight $5,000 USD grants to passionate photojournalists or students of photojournalism.

The grant should be used to support photo assignments and projects that will advance the recipients’ experience, skills and ability to tell new stories. Pictures taken by recipients as part of their grant project will be distributed globally on Reuters platforms.
