$12,500 Funding Pledged to Create Change Through Photography and Video
June 16, 2021
If you’re an Australian photographer or videographer with a deserving story to tell, problem to solve or positive impact to make, the CameraPro Explorer’s Grant is your chance to make it happen and make it known.
Applications are now invited for the third CameraPro Explorer’s Grant, established to further change-making initiatives and bring them exposure through photography/video. We are also proud to announce our new Junior category for creatives who are 13-17 years old.
What is The Explorer’s Grant?
There’s nothing more powerful than a community with a cause. But any cause needs support and gaining support needs exposure.
The Explorer's Grant was established to offer humanitarians, environmentalists, storytellers, innovators and pioneers both financial support and exposure for their chosen cause through photography and/or videography.
What We’re Looking For
The project can last for up to 6 months with a focus on Australian creatives making a positive social or environmental impact within Australia. We are looking for creativity that has impact and a strong reach.
The types of projects supported include:
-
Replanting a Rainforest- supporting Daintree buy back programs through Rainforest Rescue
-
Meet the Ocean – an educational non-profit using virtual reality to inspire/teach the public about marine conservation and rehabilitate kids in hospital
-
Rafiki Africa Ministries, Buwooya Mission School, EthiopiAid and Action Ethiopia – locally run Ugandan and Ethiopian aid organisations assisting disadvantaged children, women and local farmers

“This grant allows me to continue a project that is really important to me, to [survivor of institutional abuse] Margaret and to the Forgotten Australian community. It will allow me to…raise awareness of Forgotten Australians, be with Margaret as she undergoes her court case to seek justice, and also…give back to a charity that is helping vulnerable children in our society”
