The Joana Biarnés Scholarship supports emerging photojournalists in developing impactful visual storytelling projects that highlight underreported issues and pressing matters within Spain. The scholarship aims to empower young photographers to make visible stories that might otherwise go unseen in the national landscape.
The selected photographer receives an €8,000 grant to support the creation of their photojournalistic project, along with mentoring from an experienced tutor, access to temporary photography equipment, and opportunities for exposure through exhibitions and publications. Finalists benefit from a narrative journalism workshop and a subscription to an independent magazine focusing on visual journalism.
