The Doug Pensinger Photography Fund 2024 | Win up to $5,000 grant |

The Doug Pensinger Photography Fund is the only US-based non profit supporting emerging sports photographers. You are qualified if you are a student or if you are just starting out in your job. You are not eligible for the programme if you have more than three years of total paid professional sports photography experience.You need to upload twenty photographs. Of the twenty needed pictures, at least fifteen must be recent, shot on or after January 1, 2022. The final five necessary photos have to be taken by January 1, 2020, at the latest. Except for standard exposure adjustment, white balance, and colour toning, images cannot be extensively post-production processed digitally. “Project Title” is just a name for your set of twenty images; it makes no indication that the images are supposed to be a part of a sequence or narrative.

Recipients of the grants from the DPPF, a nonprofit organisation devoted to helping up-and-coming sports photographers, would need to provide receipts as proof that the funds were utilised for professional development. The cost of training programmes and software, the cost of workshops, the purchase of photographic materials and equipment, and direct travel expenses related to job chances are a few examples of authorised usage. After accepting the prize, winners will have a year to provide verification of their expenses.
