Are You a Hundred Heroines Nominee?
Have you got a new idea that you’d like to explore using your photography and need some funding? If so, The RPS could help you realise it.
Send us a proposal detailing your idea by the end of March 2019 and you could receive a £3,000 RPS President’s Bursary to produce a new body of work, supported by a 12-month mentorship programme.
There are no restrictions on your photography project: it could range from investigations with found photography, a 3D installation, digital artwork or enquiries into augmented and virtual reality. We are particularly interested to see experimental work.
There are no submission fees.
