Canon Europe offering €16,000 in grants for documentary filmmakers, female photojournalists

Canon Europe has opened the application period for its annual grant that aims to give two professional photographers a boost for a new project. The two grants on offer are the Canon Female Photojournalist Grant and the Canon Video Grant — both of which finance the successful applicant to the tune of €8,000 (~$9,400). To apply, you must be able to prove you are a professional, and you’ll be expected to produce a detailed plan for the project you want to shoot. Projects should cover ‘social, economic, political or cultural subject in a journalistic manner’ and the results will be presented at the Visa pour l’Image photography festival in France September 2022. While both winners can expect support from Canon to complete and publicise their projects the winner of the Video Grant will also have access to a loan of a Canon camera and two lenses to the value of €15,000. Although the initiative is run by Canon Europe, there are no geographic restrictions on who can apply for the grants. For more information see the Canon website , the Visa pour I’Image website and the rules for the Canon Video Grant and the Canon Female Photojournalist Grant . […]
