PhMuseum 2026 Women Photographers Grant

Now in its 10th edition, the PhMuseum Women Photographers Grant supports the work and careers of female and non-binary photographers of all ages and from all countries, working across documentary, fine art and conceptual photography. The open call awards a total of $11,000 in cash prizes plus €5,000 in MPB gear vouchers: $5,500 (1st), $2,200 (2nd), $1,100 (3rd), a $2,200 New Generation prize for entrants aged 30 or under, and two MPB Special Mentions of €2,500 in vouchers each. Selected work is shown in a solo exhibition at PhMuseum Lab, screened at the PhotoVogue Festival, and featured via a Vogue Italia interview; every entrant also receives a 30-minute portfolio review with a PhMuseum Education mentor. The grant promotes stories told from a female and non-binary perspective and advances gender equality across the photography industry.
