Aaron Siskind Foundation Invites Applications for 2013 Individual Photographer's Fellowships


Aaron Siskind Foundation Invites Applications for 2013 Individual Photographer's Fellowships

The Aaron Siskind Foundation is accepting applications for its 2013 Individual Photographer's Fellowship program. The annual program encourages and celebrates artistic achievement in contemporary photography by supporting the creative endeavors of artists working in photography and photo-based art media.

    A limited number of fellowship grants of up to $10,000 each will be awarded to artists working in photography and photo-based art. Qualified applicants must provide a portfolio of still photography in or created by any subject matter, genre, or process. Works submitted may be traditional photography projects or experimental works, but photographic techniques must be pivotal to the work submitted. Examples of ineligible work include film, video, and interactive multimedia.

    Recipients will be determined by a panel of distinguished guest judges on the basis of artistic excellence, accomplishment to date, and the promise of future achievement in the medium. Fellowship funds must be used to further the artist's creative endeavors.
    Students enrolled in a college degree program are not eligible to apply. Students who graduate before the 2013 application deadline will be considered. 

Previous fellowship recipients are not currently eligible for a new award, and artists in the United States on a temporary visa are ineligible as well.

Deadline:  May 24, 2013.  http://aaronsiskind.org/grant.html
