The 2024 AZPA Members’ Photography Grant is a unique opportunity for members to expand their skills and knowledge through attending workshops. The grant aims to support and empower members in the field of photography by providing financial assistance for their professional and artistic development.

The grant is open to all AZPA members from all backgrounds and levels of experience, who are passionate about developing their craft and advancing their careers. Applicants should demonstrate a commitment to the art of photography and a desire to learn new techniques and approaches.

The grant may be applied toward the cost of attending a photography workshop, which can be chosen by the recipient according to their interests and needs. The workshops can be in any area of photography, including portraiture, documentary, fine art, online, and more. The grant can also cover travel and accommodation expenses, depending on the location of the workshop.

To apply for the AZPA Members’ Photography Grant, applicants must submit a portfolio of their work (digital images accepted), a statement of their artistic goals, and a proposal outlining how they intend to use the grant to further their skills and knowledge in photography. The grant will be awarded based on the quality of the applicant’s work, their potential for growth and development, and their proposed workshop plan.

The AZPA Members’ Photography Grant is an exciting opportunity for our members to enhance their skills, build their networks, and take their careers to the next level. By supporting our members in photography, the grant aims to promote equality in the arts and encourage a more diverse and inclusive photography community.

There will be two $500 grants awarded per calendar year, payable directly to the educational program chosen by the member, or payable as a reimbursement of workshop costs incurred by the member upon presentation of approved receipts. Each year the grant winners will participate in the selection of the next year’s recipient(s).
