[Journalists] Grants to Photojournalists for Editorial Photography, Photo Documentaries

[Everett Gavel]

Hello,

I was thinking these $20,000 grants to individual 
photojournalists might work well for some here.  They 
might also work for a documentary of some kind on some 
aspect of blindness or the NFB.  The details on the 
grant opportunity are below.

Strive On!
