**Getty Images is inviting entries for its 2013 Creative Grants programme. This 
year it is boosting the value of its two cash prizes from $15,000 to $20,000.**

The two grants will be given to "facilitate collaboration between photographers,
filmmakers, agency creatives and nonprofits to create a visual campaign that promotes
positive change". The grants, now in their fifth year, are open to nonprofits and
charities around the world.

Participants will be judged on their technical, organizational and storytelling 
abilities, as well as their innovative use of creative and conceptual imagery and
video.

Andrew Saunders, Senior Vice President of Creative Content for Getty Images, said:"
By bringing together compelling visual content and strategic communications planning,
the Creative Grants program provides an important avenue for the creation of influential
campaigns that have the power to elevate awareness and further the mission of worthy
causes."

## Is it worth applying?

In 2012 Getty Images received just over 75 applications from 20 countries for the
two grants. 

## How to apply

The application has to be submitted by the photographer or film-maker. The grant
itself will be split equally between the photographer and the communications agency,
to fund their involvement in the project. That said, either partner is permitted,
if they wish, to pass on all or part of the funding to the charity.

Grant applications will be accepted from 1 February to 1 March 2013.
