Ahead of World Mental Health day on 10th October, Picfair has announced it will award \u00a320,000 worth of grants to mental health related projects<\/h2>\n
\n

London based photography start-up Picfair<\/a> will award ten \u00a32000 grants for projects that explore or support the relationship between photography and mental health.<\/p>\n

Mind The Lens<\/strong> grants are open to anyone in the world working at the intersection of mental health and photography. From mental health specialists, through to anyone working on a wellness project incorporating photography.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

The panel for awarding the grants will include Fiona Shields<\/strong> (Head of Photography at The Guardian), Katy Cowan<\/strong> (Founding Editor of Creative Boom) and Picfair’s Head of Content, Philip Mowbray<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Partnering with non profit The Photography Movement<\/a>, Picfair will also launch a range of tools and free content throughout October, including a free-to-use image gallery<\/strong><\/a> for anyone covering mental health ahead of World Mental Health day<\/a> on October 10th.<\/p>\n

This gallery will be curated from over 500,000 photography stores on Picfair, with the aim of broadening the visual spectrum of mental health imagery available.<\/p>\n

Mental health specialist and photographer Paul Williams<\/a>, who recently featured in BBC\u2019s Great British Photography Challenge, will also contribute guest content exploring the potential for photography on improving mental health.<\/p>\n

Grant submissions are now open, closing Friday 29th October 2021.<\/strong><\/p>\n
