MANILA, Philippines – The Emaho Foundation has launched a new grant to support Asian photographers.

The Emerging Asian Photography Grant offers $5,000, along with a solo gallery exhibition in Nottingham, United Kingdom, to one photographer working on a long-form, ongoing project that shows a deep dedication to the subject and illustrates a significant issue in our society.

A panel of internationally renowned photography experts, including Christian Caujolle, founder of Agence VU, Kira Pollack, director of photography at TIME Magazine, and award-winning Iranian photojournalist Newsha Tavakolian, among others will select the inaugural grantee.
