the alexia grants 2026

Grants are awarded to help produce significant projects that share in The Alexia’s mission and whose creators demonstrate the ability to accomplish them.

Submissions must include a synopsis of your project, a proposal, your bio, a résumé/CV and a body of work. Stories may be in progress or planned. Entries are judged as much on the strength of the proposal as on the applicant’s visual skills. What storytellers address and what their images say about life on the planet is more important than the approach chosen to address that topic.

All applicants will be considered for The Alexia Vision grants automatically. In addition, during the submission process, applicants will have the opportunity to indicate whether their application should also be considered for any of this year’s pop-up grants.

All submitted images will be considered for inclusion in Alexia exhibitions and publications curated throughout the year. Photographers with selected images would be contacted for approval.
