Shutterstock has launched Through Their Eyes, a 10,000 USD grant to champion underrepresented female and non-binary creators, and their creative projects across photography, visual journalism, videography, illustration, 3D modelling, and writing.

The inaugural grant aims to celebrate and embolden the diverse perspectives of female and non-binary artists, by highlighting their visual stories, and providing a glimpse into their thoughts, experiences and perceptions of the world as portrayed in their art.

Moving away from stereotypical content and towards more inclusive works, ’Through Their Eyes’ focuses on the female gaze at a time when women and non-binary artists are increasingly taking hold over their own narratives.

The 10,000 USD grant will be awarded in three prizes: first prize of 5,000 USD, with second and third prize each receiving 2,500 USD.

The deadline for applications is April 22, 2021.
