Renowned Canadian photographer Edward Burtynsky and CONTACT have established the Burtynsky Grant [1] — a $5,000 annual grant to support a Canadian or Canada-based artist in the creation of a cohesive, rigorous body of work presented in book form. Deadline is Sep 22, 2025.

This grant is intended to support photo-based artists and photographers who are at the advanced stages of developing a photobook. The jury seeks submissions from those that have created a book dummy and who have had little to no prior opportunity to self-publish or work with a publisher.
