Deadline: 30 June 2025
The American Psychological Association is pleased to invite applications for the annual LGBTQIAP+ Photography Grant for emerging and established photographers who self-identify as LGBTQIAP+.
This grant seeks to provide a much-needed financial contribution to photographers struggling to secure funding to complete their projects.
Their goal is to celebrate the LGBTQIAP+ experience through photography. They hope to champion storytellers and bring visibility to the LGBTQIAP+ community’s national platform and cultivate a safe space for funding, recognition, and representation in their professional photographic community.
The APA – DC LGBTQIAP+ Photography Grant is open to photographers residing within the United States and its territories and can support new or in-progress projects. It will be awarded based on the strength of visual portfolios and submitted artist statements.
Submissions for documentary, narrative, experimental, or episodic projects representing LGBTQIAP+ people and their communities are encouraged. This grant is intended to support camera-based photography projects, and not those produced solely through the use of AI.
They encourage applications by people of color, transgender people, intersex people, asexual people, non-binary people, disabled people, women, and other underrepresented people and communities within the queer (or LGBTQIAP+) community.
