The Alexia Grants

For over 30 years, The Alexia grants have supported student and professional visual communicators who produce projects that inspire change by addressing socially significant topics.

Grants are awarded to applicants who can produce significant projects that share in The Alexia’s mission and who demonstrate the ability to accomplish their projects.

Your submission must include a synopsis of your project, a proposal, your bio, a résumé/CV and a body of work. Stories may be in progress or planned. Entries are judged as much on the strength of the proposal as on the applicant’s visual skills. What storytellers address and what they say about life on the planet is more important than the approach chosen to address that topic.

All applicants will be considered for the traditional Alexia grants. In addition, during the application upload process, you will have the ability to indicate if your application should also be considered for any of this year’s pop-up grants.

All applicant work will be considered for inclusion in international exhibitions curated throughout the year.

The 2025 submission cycle has closed. The 2026 submission cycle will open in January.
