Grant: 2026 Arab Documentary Photography Program (ADPP)
Description: Launched in 2014, the Arab Documentary Photography Program (ADPP) has supported over 120 photographers whose creative approaches to visual storytelling challenge conventional narratives about the region. Now entering its twelth year, the program continues to amplify essential stories in the Arab region and beyond. The program provides up to 8 photographers with a $7,000 grant to work on their projects in their country of residence over a period of 10 months. The grant may be used to begin a new project or to complete work on an existing project. In addition, ADPP grantees will benefit from mentorship provided by distinguished program mentors and will be required to attend three specialized workshops (two in-person and one virtual) to help them develop and produce their projects and consider avenues for distribution. Photographers from and working in the Arab region are invited to submit proposals that touch on social issues and realities relevant to the region. Applicants who have had to flee their home countries since 2012 due to political unrest are also eligible so long as their proposed projects are related to the region.
Deadline: December 10, 2025 – 5pm Beirut time (GMT+2)
