Will the unsuccessful applicants be advised and will they receive any feed back on their submission?

This is such a great idea and opportunity. Very encouraging to see grants such as this available to aspiring non-professionals.

In a world of everyone with a cellphone camera is a photographer, and sound-bite news, real photographers with a penchant for telling stories, need now more than ever the assistance of organizations like these to help execute their vision. Personally I have been a fine art photographer for some time now, and am just beginning to delve into the world of photojournalism. I find as stated above that the abundance of stock photography, and waning of print media, it has become increasingly difficult to find an outlet who would be willing to help share your story. Organizations like Photocarati with its line-up of respected professionals like the three chosen judges, and programs like this, are indispensable. I thank you all for even giving us this opportunity. Good luck to everyone.

I do photography but am currently unemployed and make very little money on my photography. I wanted to know if I’m eligible to apply for the program.

Dear Erick
I would like to ask you if the program is open to photography student?
As I know photography student is still considered non professional photographer.
I looked through the guidelines but I couldn’t find any information about it.

Regards
