About

The Aftermath Project, a non-profit organization, has opened its 2019 photography grant cycle and invites all working conflict photographers around the world to participate with their projects.

The Aftermath Project’s mission is to support photographic projects that tell the other half of the story of conflict — the story of what it takes for individuals to learn to live again, to rebuild destroyed lives and homes, to restore civil societies, to address the lingering wounds of war while struggling to create new avenues for peace. Grant proposals should reflect an understanding of this mission.

Guidelines:

Proposals may relate to the aftermath of numerous kinds of conflict, not just international wars. The conflict may have been at the community level — for example, violence between rural ethnic groups or an urban riot in an industrialized country. It may have been a regional one, such as a rebel insurgency, or it may have been a full-scale war. There is no specific time frame that defines “aftermath,” although in general The Aftermath Project seeks to support stories which are no longer being covered by the mainstream media, or which have been ignored by the media. In general, conflict should be over for a situation to be deemed an “aftermath.” There are specific cases, however, where conflict may have continued for so long, or be the result of an aftermath situation, that they will be considered to be within the scope of The Aftermath Project.

Submission requirements:

• A signed application form, saved as a PDF or jpg file.
• A project proposal that not exceed 2 pages, saved as a PDF file.
• A portfolio of no more than 30 images, in jpg format. You must label your images this way:
Your last name, followed by a number – Example: Smith_1.jpg.
• Your images MUST be sized 1200 pixels on the longest side, at 72 dpi with a file size of no larger than 2 MB per photo. A caption sheet, saved as a PDF file.

Do NOT send anything else with your application.

There is no entry fee to participate!
