Hi, and happy Friday.

A tight, well-mixed one this week. A couple of grants, a festival or two, and two creator trips you can apply to directly. I've sorted everything by deadline, so start at the top and work down. One closes this weekend, so if it's for you, move today.

Let's go!

Analog Forever Magazine — "Devotion"
​Deadline: Nov 1 (this weekend!)​
A quick, free one for the film lovers. Analog Forever's online group exhibition, juried by Laura Barth, wants analog and film work exploring devotion in all its forms — sacred or secular, tender or consuming. Free to enter; the reward is an online exhibition and the exposure that comes with it (no cash prize). Low effort, lovely home for a photograph you already have. Enter​
​

Barcelona Experimental Photo Festival 2027
​Deadline: Nov 7
For anyone whose work lives off the beaten track, experimental, alternative-process, historical or hybrid photography. Open worldwide, €20 to enter. Twenty photographers each get a solo exhibition in Barcelona next July, plus up to €250 in production support, festival perks and promotion to their 60k+ following. No cash prize, but real wall space and a genuinely different crowd.

Mawali Sailing — Layang Layang Creator Spots 2027 (Borneo)
​Deadline: Nov 10
A dream brief for the underwater crowd: creator spots on 2027 live-aboard dive expeditions off Borneo, for photographers, videographers and marine storytellers. Apply by emailing mawalisailing@gmail.com with the subject line "LAYANG LAYANG CREATOR SPOT 2027."
​

Fotografia Calabria Festival Award
​Deadline: Nov 15
An Italian festival award with a solid prize: €3,000 cash, production of your exhibition, and publication in the festival catalogue. €35 to enter, open to photographers internationally. A good mid-size competition if you've got a cohesive body of work ready to show.

​

Un/Fund 05 — un/produced
​Deadline: Nov 18
The standout this week. Open worldwide, and the package is extraordinary: €10,000 in direct project funding, a four-week residency at NUMEROVENTI in Florence, a published photobook (designed and distributed by Libraryman), and a year of one-to-one mentorship. One important catch: it's for emerging artists: under seven years' experience, and not currently signed to an agency or gallery. If that's you, clear your weekend for the application.
​Apply​
​

lastminute.com — "One Year of Travel"
​Deadline: Nov 20
A proper creator programme: thirty creators get £3,000–£6,000 in travel vouchers for a year of trips, plus a content retreat, workshops and affiliate codes, in exchange for making content each month. Apply by posting a short video on Instagram or TikTok answering "What makes you lastminute(.com)?", tagging @lastminute_com with #oneyearoftravel.
