Deadline: 30-Apr-22
The Getty Images is pleased to announce the #ShowUs Grant which provides financial support and mentorship to artists who are committed to authentically representing women, femmes and non-binary individuals in commercial photography and videography.
Judges will be looking for submissions which shatter stereotypes and conventions celebrating women and aging. They wish to honor the full spectrum of diverse experiences – showing that beauty has no age limit – all experiences are valid, welcome, and appreciated. Judges will give particular consideration to photographers and videographers who are depicting authentic stories of women, femmes and non-binary individuals in their local communities.
Project #ShowUs is a global library of images created by women, femmes and non-binary photographers devoted to shattering beauty stereotypes around the world. Created in partnership with Dove this global collection is 100% created by and representing women, women and non-binary individuals as they are, not as others believe they should be.
The jury will consider the caliber of the portfolio, the project’s merit and the artist’s professional ability. The judges will also be assessing how the submitted projects authentically represent women and non-binary individuals from across the globe and how the project will help to change the way media and advertising represent women and non-binary people.
