Photographers worldwide who plan to cover the aftermath of a conflict have until November 3 to compete for the Aftermath Project grants.

The competition’s goal is to promote photographic projects that tell the other half of the story of conflict: what it takes for individuals to learn to live again and to rebuild and restore civil society.

Sponsored by the Open Society Institute and the Compton Foundation, two grants of US$25,000 and US$15,000 each will be given for work to be carried in 2009.

Proposals should include an explanation of the aftermath issues related to the project, as well as an overview of the applicant’s plans during the course of the grant year.

The Aftermath Project is a California-based nonprofit that seeks to help broaden the public’s understanding of the true cost of war.
