Alexander Tutsek Photography Grant

The Alexander Tutsek Foundation supports outstanding projects in the field of contemporary photography with the Alexander Tutsek Photography Grant. Three scholarships of €50,000 each are awarded for a duration of twelve months (01.11.2023–31.10.2024) and offer private photographers nationwide the opportunity to realize artistic visions under the overarching theme “Stories on Humankind.” The aim is to support innovative visual concepts that illuminate human interaction, social changes, and individual narratives in a new aesthetic form. Recipients of the funding receive financial resources to cover all project-related costs and simultaneously benefit from the renowned expertise of the Alexander Tutsek Foundation in the field of culture & media.

Eligible to participate are all photographers residing in Germany with a clear focus on contemporary photography. Submissions are made exclusively through the Alexander Tutsek Foundation and include a detailed project description, a curriculum vitae, a budget plan, and bank details. The selection decision is based on artistic quality and conceptual strength, with the foundation’s advisory experts playing a central role. Although the call for applications for the 2023/24 period has already closed, the scholarship can serve as a benchmark for future applications and provides insight into the requirements and funding priorities of the Alexander Tutsek Foundation.
