Call for Submission - Eyewitness Photojournalism Grant

Diversify Photo and the Pulitzer Center are offering a series of $1,000 visual reporting grants to support underreported stories told by journalists historically underrepresented in the American press. 

In light of the coronavirus pandemic, the grant will prioritize stories told locally, with minimal travel required. Stories should cover the systemic, underreported issues of our time, including police brutality, the impact of COVID-19 on vulnerable communities, environmental racism, food insecurity, the opioid crisis, and beyond.

Applicants must be freelance photojournalists and proposals must be accompanied by a letter of commitment from a news outlet with significant reach. In addition to DPxPC funding, we expect news outlets to contribute to the cost of reporting these stories. 

Applications must be received in English. There is no application fee.

Entry deadline is July 19, 2020
