Genesis are delighted to announce that the Genesis Postgraduate Award is back for the second year. This time, the award is open to all universities in England and for students to self-submit.
From years of experience working with students, we’re only too aware of the financial pressures faced in the production of final work. And of our responsibility to help foster new talent as leaders in production for the creative industries.
The award is comprised of full production of one individual’s degree show (up to the value of £2000). Alongside 12 months mentoring and support, promotion via our newsletter and social media channels and invites to industry events and exhibitions.
The award is our way of encouraging the next generation of arts practitioners, who have taken a leap to complete a postgraduate degree in photography or art related disciplines.
Please submit your applications using the form below by the deadline of 1st March 2019.
Would this bursary be available to students residing in England but attending a universities in Wales
Hi Charmaine,
I’m afraid the award is only currently open to universities in England, but we will take on your comments and I will pass this on to the team as we are always striving to improve the support we offer.
With very best regards,
Gabrielle, Genesis Imaging
Is this award for Postgraduates finishing in 2019, or in 2020? I’m at Kingston and our program finishes in January of 2020.
Hi Jared,
I’m just answering your question publicly as well as replying via email. The award is open to final year students – what we would like is an indicative proposal and some indication of where you’re at, at the moment, so don’t worry too much about not feeling prepared. The £2000 of production is for the production of the degree show, so we do expect there to be movement in what is proposed (and our judges are also aware of this).
Hope this helps, and look forward to receiving your submission!
Best regards,
Gabrielle, Genesis Imaging
