About

The Centre for British Photography is pleased to announce the creation of a programme of grants and mentorship to support artists working with photography in Britain.

During 2024 the Centre for British Photography will be awarding a total of £10,000 with a maximum award of £2,500 per recipient. These are not support grants but are awards to enable photographers and artists working with photography to bring an ongoing project to completion within a year. They are open to individuals of all ages, irrespective of academic background.

What winners receive

An award of up to £2,500 per project (determined by proposal budget) which will be used by the applicant to complete the project within a year. Recipients of the Centre's Realisation Grants will also have a total of three sessions of expert mentorship from the team and trustees of the Centre for British Photography.

About Centre for British Photography

The Centre for British Photography (registered charity number 1190955) was founded by James Hyman in 2020. The charity seeks to support photographers working in Britain through exhibitions, events, grants and mentoring.

It seeks to provide a dedicated home for British Photography in all its diversity. The aim is to host exhibitions curated independently by outside curators and institutional partners as well as to stage internally curated exhibitions.

We wish to provide a platform for a range of voices in order to present an expansive overview of the diversity of British photography past and present.
