Getty recently announced a creative grant for communities with disabilities (opens in a new tab) created with the purpose of more authentically representing other people in media living with disabilities and selling diversity in the fields of commercial art photography, content creation, and videography.
The Creative Grants program will provide money and mentorship to artists who commit to representing members of disability network paintings in an equitable and original manner, while elevating the paintings and voice of others within those disability communities.
This grant largely follows in the footsteps of Getty’s Disability Collection (opens in a new tab), introduced in 2018 and the result of a partnership between Getty, Verizon, and in collaboration with the National Disability Leadership Alliance (NDLA). Lately, the collection includes more than 4,000 photographs and videos organized, breaking stereotypes and committed to more accurately representing other people with disabilities.
Open to photographers and videographers around the world, and supported through an equivalent grant from Verizon, Disability Communities will award $15,000 to one recipient and another $10,000, with 3 recipients receiving $5,000. Creative Grant seeks varied perspectives, and photographers or videographers with disabilities are particularly encouraged to apply.
Getty recognizes the demanding situations photographers around the world face when they achieve their first breakthrough in the advertising industry, and the Creative Grants program will help alleviate some of the monetary hurdles photographers might face when capturing this original content.
To apply, photographers and videographers will need to submit links to existing online work portfolios, a 200- to 500-word assignment proposal summary, as well as an inspiring temperament chart accompanied by a short essay describing the desired approach. virtual format and also in English.
With the overall purpose of helping brands, agencies and content creators more authentically constitute others within the disability community, this year’s grant will be awarded to applicants and will be decided through a panel of industry leaders comprised of disability activists and artistic leaders, he decided to provide his experience and live.
Dr Rebecca Swift, global head of Creative Insights at Getty Images and Creative Grant Judge, said: “In media and advertising, other people with disabilities see themselves alone or as the only user with a disability in a community.
She continues, “Building on our ongoing paintings with disability collection, our purpose is for content creators, brands, and agencies to highlight the true nature of what it means to be part of the disability community at large. “
Getty Images has spent more than a decade fighting destructive stereotypes and aims to create a more original visual view of concepts such as gender, LGBTQ, religion, race, intellectual illness and disability in advertising and social media.
Grant recipients are encouraged to license their content through Getty Images, with a generous one hundred percent royalty rate for any created symbols that are included in the proposed project. People will also get mentorship from one of Getty’s award-winning art directors, as well as online page capability in Getty’s Creative Insights.
