About the Creator Labs Photo Fund
Google's Creator Labs and Aperture are pleased to launch the 2024 Creator Labs Photo Fund - an initiative providing financial support to encourage artists at formative moments in their careers. Started in 2021, this third season of the Creator Labs Photo Fund will provide grants to 30 artists for new work created in the past three years.
This fund is made possible by Google Pixel in partnership with Aperture.
What Winners Receive
Thirty selected artists will each be awarded a prize of $6,000 and a Pixel 8a device. Their work will be featured on aperture.org and across Aperture's social media channels.
