FREE ENTRY / Photo Humanity Grant - Water for Life Photography Grant 2026

Photo Humanity Grant calls on documentary photographers around the world to illuminate one of the most pressing humanitarian challenges of our time — the global lack of safe, clean, and accessible water.

Recognizing water as a fundamental human right (UN General Assembly, 2010) and advancing the goals of SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation, this initiative empowers visual storytellers to raise awareness, inspire action, and hold institutions accountable.

These stories will serve as both artistic expressions and humanitarian instruments—shaping public consciousness, strengthening advocacy efforts, and supporting real-world solutions for communities most affected by the water crisis.

Grantees will be included in world photo exhibitions and yearly photo book.
