I compiled a list of photography grants, competitions and internships in Google Calendar and thought someone else might find it useful. I’ll keep updating this as I find new competitions, but please do double-check deadline dates yourself. Please note that I’ve focused on international and UK awards. Also not included are competitions requiring hefty entry fees, unless the organisation is particularly prestigious.
When the current year’s competition has not yet been announced, I have used either the previous year’s date (if available) or January 1st as the deadline for me to check for updates. If you have suggestions for more grants and competitions to add, please leave a comment.

Moving from Santiago, Chile back to France makes for a dramatic cultural transition. I’m living in Lyon for the forseeable future and, while the city feels desperately small compared to Santiago, there’s plenty to keep busy with. I’m trying to get into the habit of taking pictures every day; below you’ll find some snapshots captured during my first month here.
Photojournalist Ami Vitale has gorgeous video showing off the new Nikon D300s. Aside from gear considerations, the video is beautifully shot. The roles of photographer and videographer are becoming increasingly intertwined, the results of which I look forward to seeing much more as technology evolves. You can see more of Ami’s work here.
