Getty Images believes in the power of photojournalism to bring attention to significant social and cultural issues. We also know the rigors of executing world-class photography assignments and understand that in order to produce their best work, photojournalists need time, freedom and support.

Getty Images is thus pleased to offer Grants for Editorial Photography.

More than 136 photographers from around the world submitted applications for the Getty Images Grants for Editorial Photography awarded in February 2008. Those applications were evaluated by 4 independent judges in January. Each judge considered the anonymous projects and sample photographs independently, and then met to select the winning projects.
