AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

The Aftermath Project offers a US$20,000 grant for conflict photographers to share their experiences and an additional US$5,000 honorarium for a fixer/translator who wants to tell a story about his or her own experience.

This year-long grant is for conflict photographers who want to pursue a project about the aftermath in their own lives of covering conflict. The subject can be approached in any way – portraits, landscapes, reportage, collaboration with a family of someone who has been killed, anything that explores the personal aftermath of covering war, whether that be PTSD, the aftermath of sexual assault, the aftermath of being wounded.

Deadline for submissions is Oct. 1.

The Knight Foundation and National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) have organized this journalism challenge to initiate high-quality cultural coverage, new and innovative ideas and constructive criticism from individuals and organizations.

Any journalist can apply as long as their idea focuses on one of the following communities: Akron, OH, Charlotte, NC, Detroit, MI, Macon, GA, Miami, FL, Philadelphia, PA, St. Paul, MN or San Jose/Silicon Valley, CA.

First-round winners receive up to US$20,000 to develop an action plan, which should clearly describe their project and how it will impact arts journalism in one of the eight communities listed above.

Southern and East African photographers and video makers can participate in a contest.

The contest is organized by the National Gallery of Zimbabwe in partnership with Gwanza Arts.

Photographers and video makers are invited to submit works on the theme of "Pimp My Combi," as a marker of vernacular aesthetics and cultural codes, as well as a vehicle defining both urban landscape and social space throughout Africa.

Bringing together for the first time photography, video and sound installations, Gwanza 2011 proposes to look at the combi (or minibus) as a marker of vernacular aesthetics and cultural codes, as well as a vehicle defining both urban landscape and social space throughout Africa.
