Do you have questions about applying for the Stanley Greene Legacy Prize and Fellowship? Are you having trouble applying for grants in general? Do you need funds to support or continue your personal projects?
There is a way. There is a set of skills and techniques you can learn and apply to elevate your grant proposals in order to focus on the stories you want to tell and the change you seek to make.
We believe that any independent photographer, who is willing to develop their own vision and ideas, should know how to reach the organizations that can provide the necessary funding to accomplish their projects.
NOOR´s photographers Andrea Bruce and Sebastian Liste have consistently received generous support from some of the most important organizations in our industry: the Harvard Nieman Foundation fellowship, World Press Photo Foundation, the Magnum Foundation Emergency Found, the Alexia Foundation Grant, the CatchLight Fellowship, National Geographic Explorer grant, Getty Editorial Grant, the Nikon Special project Grant and the Alicia Patterson Foundation Fellowship.
That support has allowed them to commit to their practice as visual storytellers and develop their personal in-depth projects.
In this workshop, Andrea and Sebastian will share their expertise on successfully applying for grants.
We will take into special consideration the structure of writing a proposal and how to edit a portfolio that properly supports your project idea. We will also give you very practical tips to elevate your bio and CV and how to make a realistic budget—details that are crucial but sometimes underestimated when applying for a grant.
We also want to give you a chance to discuss specific questions and challenges you might have. We´ve set up time for a Q&A session.
Let’s be ready for the next session together.
Let us help you take your career to the next level.
Let’s produce work that matters.

Million Shillings – Escape from Somalia was featured in VICE Video
Alixandra Fazzina (@alixandrafazzinanoor) tells us about her series A Million Shillings – Escape from Somalia for a new series on @vice & @vicevideo. In it she recalls the harrowing details of the stories behind her photographs; from meeting the smugglers, witnessing executions, and capturing the many lives lost. She titled her work A Million Shillings because a million Somali shillings, about the equivalent of $50, is the price paid by emigrants, or tahrib, risking their lives to embark with smugglers on a perilous voyage across the Gulf of Aden in the search of a better life.
