daniele tamagni grant 2024/2025

The Daniele Tamagni Grant brings together material and intellectual resources to address the creation of a long-term value programme focused on photography, photojournalism and education. The Grant is addressed to emerging photographers whose work engages with the African continent or its diaspora, without restrictions in terms of the applicant’s nationality.

Submissions will be reviewed based on the documentary and/or narrative skills of the applicant, and the authenticity, storyline, originality and overall quality of their presented portfolio. All entries will be reviewed fairly by an International Jury Panel, that will autonomously select one eligible winner.

“Dedicated to the memory of Daniele and entirely supported by his family, the Grant represents a unique opportunity to support emerging photographers in making their first steps in the industry. The submission is free and open to photographers with a maximum of five years of professional experience, coming from any country in the world, whose work explores the African identity, engaging with the African continent or its diaspora.”
