The Aftermath Project has announced that it is now accepting applications to support photographic projects that tell the other half of the story of conflict.
The Aftermath Project is a nonprofit organization which is “committed to telling 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.” The Project holds an annual grant competition to provide funding support to photographers worldwide covering the aftermath of conflict. It is an Open Society Institute grantee under the Documentary Photography Project.
Under this call for proposals, it is calling on photographers to submit applications for projects that tell a story relating 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 which 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.”
Two grants for $20,000 each will be given in this cycle, for work to be done in 2010. Three finalists will also be named (there is no monetary award for finalists, but their work is publicized and included in The Aftermath Project publications, etc.).
The deadline for submission of applications is 1 November 2010. For more information, visit this link.
