The Richard and Siobhan Coward Foundation | Grants for Analogue Photography

Open from Wednesday 18th January 2023!

The Richard and Siobhan Coward Foundation was established to honour the life and work of photographer and artist Richard Coward. The Foundation offers grants of up to £1,000 to promote:

  • the use of analogue photography
  • the use of analogue or digital photography as art therapy for disadvantaged young people and young people with disabilities.

These grants are to support photographers in projects for which use of analogue techniques are central to implementation. Grants of £250 – £1,000 are available.


For the purpose of these grants, analogue photography is defined as the predominantly film-based processes that were used before the development of digital photography. Examples include: 35mm and medium format film photography, wet plate collodion, polaroid, tintype, slide transparency, pinhole camera photography and camera-less processes such as photogram or cyanotype.

Deadline is midday on 2nd April 2023
