Applications call for the Stanley Greene Legacy Prize & Fellowship

In general, the aim of The Stanley Greene Legacy Prize & Fellowship is to support the work and professional aspirations of underrepresented photojournalists from the United States who create work that echoes the passion with which Stanley approached photography. Moreover, applicants should be ready and willing to expand their worldview in a similar fashion. Simply put, the vision of photographers of color should be available everywhere, at home and abroad; and the fellowship will help make that happen.

Basically, the one-year fellowship under the stewardship of Stanley’s colleagues at NOOR includes training, grant-writing support, and networking with media industry leaders to open pathways for the fellow’s work to reach wider audiences in the U.S. and Europe.

Funding and Benefits

The fellow will receive a $10,000 prize fellowship plus travel expenses for field reporting or research up to $2500.

• Applicants should be early-career photographers, in the first ten years of their professional career; who show great promise and an unquenchable desire to practice photojournalism with a purpose.
• The fellow will have a mentor from NOOR and will be checking in regularly with their mentor, as well as engage with industry leaders in meetings arranged by NOOR.
• Early-career photographers (within the first 10 years of their career) who come from a background that is underrepresented in the industry are welcome to submit applications.
