Gomma Photography Grant 2015, early bird deadline.

Gomma Photography Grant is a new grant for photographers now in its second year and engineered by Gomma. With a respectable jury formed by some of the most renowned personalities of the photography world, this grant will not only give a cash prize but it will also generate an enormous amount of international exposure to the winners and each of the shortlisted photographers.
The prizes are: one thousand euros cash prize, massive international exposure, publication in Gomma Magazine, Gomma websites, social network and its media partners.

We, at Gomma, are fully aware of the costs that photographers have to face on a daily basis so we decided to come up with a new grant for photographers.
The Grant is now in its second year.

Receiving this grant will also expose your work immensely to a wide international audience. Last's year winner Ksenia Yurkova has published her first photo book Letters for Two, and No-one Else, exhibited at the Grand Prix Fotofestiwal, Athens Photo Festival and Kolga Tbilisi since winning the 2014 Gomma Grant. Furthermore, she has been widely published in magazines such as GUP, Gomma and doc! photo magazine.
