Picture 4 parity

Since the beginning of the 20th century, women surfers have fought to make their mark on the waves, at surf competitions and in surf history.

Yet, on the beach, in the water or in a studio, it is estimated that behind the camera men make up more than 95% of surf photographers.

In order for things to change faster, to be better and for diversity to grow in surf culture, TISA is committed to supporting the emergence of photography projects developed by women with the yearly grant Pictures for Parity. The grant supports projects at different levels of completion whether the project is still at the drafting stage or has only just started. With a 1st prize of $5000 and a second prize of $1000, the grant contributes to the production costs (material, travel, etc.) of the projects. The projects can be very diverse: photoreports, trips, series, etc.
