Opportunities

The Prism Photo Workshop offers education, mentoring, funding, professional development and community to visual journalists from traditionally underrepresented communities. We do this through grants, scholarships, mentoring and a yearly workshop. We believe there should be no barriers to access and have a free model for attendance.
