Gomma Publishing Ltd — Gomma Grant 2026 — FIRST deadline
Overview
The Gomma Grant, administered by Gomma Publishing Ltd, is an annual photography grant that recognizes and supports photographers working across all genres and mediums. The grant is open to projects at any stage—unfinished, ongoing, or completed—and accepts black-and-white or color work, analogue or digital, including unconventional formats such as Polaroid and Instagram. This inclusivity reflects a curatorial vision that prioritizes the strength of the photographic series over adherence to traditional presentation modes. Applicants are required to submit between 8 and 24 images at 72 dpi (JPG, sRGB/RGB), with a minimum of 1500 pixels on the longest side. A short description is mandatory, while an artist statement and a short biography/resume are optional. Images must be named according to the convention Name-Surname-imageNumber.jpg (e.g., Eugene-Smith-01.jpg). Multiple entries are permitted, provided each entry meets the guidelines. The entry fee is €19. The grant does not specify a cash prize or exhibition opportunity in the provided information, but it serves as a significant recognition for photographers seeking validation and exposure within the contemporary photography community. The jury, composed of photography professionals, evaluates submissions based on the coherence and originality of the series, making this a competitive opportunity for those with a distinct visual voice.
