Photo agency Getty Images is offering a creative grant in collaboration with Verizon and the US National Disability Leadership Alliance (NDLA).
The project, called ‘Disability in Focus: Navigating Work Life‘, invites photographers and videographers to reimagine how the disability community is represented in professional settings. Open to creators globally, this creative grant offers $20,000 (£16,000) in funding to help talented creators rewrite the narrative, showcasing the disability community as active, thriving professionals, leaders, and innovators in the workplace.
“The global workforce has evolved significantly, yet the stories of the disability community in professional roles remain underrepresented,” said Dr. Rebecca Swift, Senior Vice President of Creative at Getty Images. “This grant is an opportunity for creators to challenge stereotypes and showcase the vital contributions, leadership, and innovation that people with disabilities bring to workplaces around the world.”
