ABOUT

Our annual realisation grants have been immensely successful and we are now increasing the amounts awarded. Applicants may now apply for awards from £2,000 up to £4,000. The amount awarded will be at the discretion of the judges.


These are not support grants but are awards to enable photographers and artists working with photography to bring an ongoing project to completion within a year. They are open to individuals of all ages, irrespective of academic background.

 

WHAT GRANTEES RECEIVE

An award which will be used by the applicant to complete the project within a year. Recipients of the Centre's Realisation Grants will also have the opportunity for sessions of expert mentorship from the team and trustees of the Centre for British Photography.

 

GRANT AWARDED

Selected photographers and artists working in photography will receive their grants in two stages: 50% upon acceptance of the grant, and the balance on November 15, 2026, considered the halfway mark of the grant competition period. Works produced with support of the grant should be finished by May 1, 2027.
