2019 Burtynsky Grant
Deadline: Wednesday, May 15, 2019
Photographer Edward Burtynsky and CONTACT are requesting submissions for the 2019 Burtynsky Grant—a $5,000 annual grant to support a Canadian artist in the creation of a photobook.
This grant is intended for photo-based artists who are in the advanced stages of developing a cohesive, rigorous body of work presented in book form. The jury is looking for submissions from those that have created a book dummy and who have had little to no prior opportunity to self-publish or work with a publisher.
Jury:
Sarah Allen – Assistant Curator, Tate Modern
Edward Burtynsky
Maxine Proctor – Managing Editor, BlackFlash; director and co-founder, Toronto Art Book Fair
Marcus Schubert – Director of Media, Publications & Exhibits, Burtynsky Studios.
For submission details visit scotiabankcontactphoto.com. The winner and honourable mentions will be announced in June. For questions about the programs, please email photobook@scotiabankcontactphoto.com.
