Deadline: 24 April 2026.Leica Society International (LSI) is proud to announce its fourth annual Women in Photography Grant. THEME: “Where We Stand”.

LSI invites women photographers to submit projects rooted in lived experience or sustained, accountable relationships.We are seeking work shaped by proximity, projects made from within communities, or developed through long-term, trust-based engagement. The work should reflect an understanding of the photographer’s position in relation to the people and stories represented.We prioritize projects that demonstrate:·

– Lived presence: Work informed by personal experience, identity, or meaningful, ongoing connection.
– Intentional authorship: Clear awareness of why this story is being told and why the photographer is the one telling it.
– Relational access: Access built through trust and mutual recognition.
– Reciprocity: Evidence that the relationship extends beyond image capture, with care for impact and benefit.
– Responsibility: Ethical consideration of representation, power, and long-term accountability.

Prizes:

One grant in the amount of $10,000 USD ($5,000 of which is generously donated by Leica NA) will be awarded to help complete an in-progress, personal project. In addition, the grant recipient will receive a new Leica camera and lens, courtesy of Leica North America.
