Now in their fifth year, the Getty Images Grants provide photographers with the creative freedom and collaborative editorial support necessary to produce documentary features that raise the bar of visual excellence. The company has confirmed that five grants totalling US$100,000 will again be awarded to professional photojournalists in 2009. In addition, Getty Images is expanding the program by including a student category to identify and encourage promising photojournalism students throughout the world. Four grants of US$5,000 each will be made to students under 30 who are enrolled in a full-time, accredited photojournalism course.
