The Emerging Photographer Fund is designed to support continuation of a photographer’s personal project, or emerging career. This body of work may be of either journalistic mission or purely personal artistic imperatives. There is no age limit 18 or above. Projects submitted may be ongoing, or finished. We are looking to discover new work, and new talent.

The Emerging Photographer Fund awarded is $10,000.

Editor’s note:

Burn Magazine revolves around the Emerging Photographer Fund. Our most important curatorial contribution to the oftentimes chaotic landscape of photography today.

Each year, we choose a jury whose lifetimes have been spent in looking at photographs and making photographs, and on burnmagazine.org we try to give our readers a distilled version of the best work of all that flows before their eyes every day.

Most importantly our mission is to give recognition to the finest emerging authors out there and to provide some funding to at least a few to keep going and to continue making a mark. Our previous winners prove this is not in vain.

The Emerging Photographer Fund was initiated in 2008 and is funded by Michael Loyd Young through the BURN Foundation.
