Eidolon Centre for Everyday Photography is delighted to announce that the Eidolon Grant is launching for the third time, building on the success and almost 1000 received applications of previous years and supporting a new round of forward-thinking projects! The Eidolon Grant, Eidolon’s international grant programme for projects which explore, promote and conserve vernacular photography is open.
The Eidolon Grant is an international programme that is presented annually to artists, academics, professionals, researchers, collectors and vernacular photography enthusiasts whose past work and proposed project is centred around the image heritage of everyday photography. Our programme aims to identify phenomena, collections, histories, practices, and trends within vernacular photography with the aim of offering new interpretations and analyses. Thematising both photographic heritages and contemporary photographic practices is Eidolon’s mission and we invite you to join us in this important exploration.
This year’s jury includes Swedish documentary filmmaking duo Axel Danielson and Maximilien Van Aertryck, Australian writer, researcher, and curator Catlin Langford, Sam Mercer, curator at London’s The Photographers’ Gallery, Italian photographer, filmmaker, and author Alba Zari, and Eidolon Centre director Róza Tekla Szilágyi.
The deadline for submission is September 30, 2026, at 11:59 p.m., and applications can be made under two categories, with a total of 25.000 euros to be distributed.
All detailed information about this year’s Eidolon Grant can be found on the website.
