The 2025 Prism Photo Workshop grant is now open! Apply here.

Thanks to support from the Field Foundation of Illinois, Prism Photo Workshop is offering a $1000 grant to a photographer or multimedia journalist to produce and publish a photography or multimedia project. The winner will be selected based on a portfolio consisting of up to 10 single images, video clips or completed videos and a description of the project. The applicant may submit separate work or visuals already produced for the project.

Applicants must be a resident of Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry or Will County in Illinois or Lake County, Indiana.

Deadline for submission is Monday, June 15th at midnight CDT.

Prism Photo 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.
