Photography, documentary grants available

Photographers and filmmakers can apply for a grant to support a social documentary project.

The Manuel Rivera-Ortiz Foundation for International Photography aims to create an online showcase of outstanding photography and documentary worldwide and award a grant to a social documentary photographer and a social documentary filmmaker to aid in the production or completion of a project.

Proposed projects should be based on pressing social issues in developing nations or communities of poverty, health, oppression, war, famine, religious/political persecution and similar issues.

Two US$5,000 awards will be announced in July 2016 during Les Rencontres d’Arles in France.

The deadline is March 31.
