Light Work has announced the 2015 Light Work Grants in Photography competition. Three $2,000 grants will be awarded to photographers who reside within an approximate 50-mile radius of Syracuse. Recipients are invited to display their work in a special exhibition at Light Work, and will have their work reproduced in Light Work’s award-winning publication, “Contact Sheet: The Light Work Annual.”
In its 40-year history, the grant program has supported more than 118 artists, some multiple times. With the help of the regional grant, many artists have been able to continue long-term projects, purchase equipment, frame photographs for exhibitions, promote their work, collaborate with others or otherwise continue their artistic goals.
All applicants must reside in of one of the following Central New York counties: Broome, Cayuga, Chemung, Chenango, Cortland, Herkimer, Jefferson, Lewis, Madison, Oneida, Onondaga, Oswego, Schuyler, Seneca, St. Lawrence, Tioga or Tompkins.
Three judges from outside the grant region will review the applications. Their decisions are based solely on the strength of the candidate’s portfolio and completed application. Individuals who received this award prior to 2010 are eligible to re-apply. Full-time students are not eligible.
