The Robert Giard Grant for Emerging LGBTQ+ Photographers promotes new work by self-taught, early career or otherwise emerging LGBTQ+ artists whose projects address issues of sexuality, gender or LGBTQ+ identity. The grant is administered in partnership with Queer|Art, and awards two prizes each year, $10,000 for the winner and $5,000 for the runner-up. This grant provides vital support for emerging artists, who may lack the financial resources or institutional support available to more established artists.
