Parallax Feature Grant

Parallax Photo Journal and Photography Chismis PH are thrilled to announce a partnership in conjunction with Insights: Issue Two. The Parallax Feature Grant program aims to encourage and support writings that have a particular interest in documentary photography and photojournalism. 

Topic Interest

Parallax Photo Journal will provide a grant to a selected feature submission that engages critically with photojournalism and documentary work focusing on the Philippines and the rest of Southeast Asia.

The grant welcomes a broad range of styles and perspectives ranging from individual reflections, journalistic accounts, and historical narratives. We value personal stories, conversations, and everyday observations as much as critical analyses, scholarly works, and artistic declarations about Philippine Photography.
