Funding is provided for the continuation of a photographic project that has already been started. All genres of photography are welcome.
The Fotobus is a cultural, social and academic project serving all students of photography, design, film, art or media. Excursions and research trips to regional, national, and international destinations are offered using the Fotobus — a 32-seat historic coach. The Fotobus Society was founded in 2018 and is now the largest student photography network in the world, with over 1,200 members studying at more than 30 different universities worldwide. The Fotobus Society is supported by Nikon.
