About CatchLight Global Fellowship 2024

At CatchLight, it is our mission to leverage the power of images to inform, transform and connect communities. The CatchLight Global Fellowship awards visual storytellers who are poised to ignite social change through their photography, videography or leadership by leveraging the power of visuals to create impactful  audience engagement and innovative distribution models.

Program Details

Central to the Global Fellowship goals and deliverables are sharing learnings and processes with the CatchLight community and wider field. Fellows are responsible for sharing outcomes and insights through three primary reporting mechanisms during the Fellowship year:

  • Public presentation of outcomes
  • Interview(s) with recipient and/or key stakeholders
  • Visual documentation and data collection

BENEFITS OF THE FELLOWSHIP

  • $30,000 award
  • Potential access to additional future funding through the CatchLight Impact Fund
  • Paid travel and accommodations for the 2024 CatchLight Visual Storytelling Summit, April 26-28 in San Francisco.
  • Personal development opportunities, including executive coaching
  • Impact strategy and networking support from CatchLight staff and our extended network.
  • A community of like-minded Fellows and industry professionals with opportunities for mentorship, education and speaking engagements.

Eligibility

  • Long-form storyteller with a specific impact project
  • Leader with a plan to advance/or grow the field
  • Educator with innovative approaches to supporting upcoming storytellers

Proposals will be assessed on how they employ and strengthen new methods and potential solutions with an eye towards one or more of the following target outcomes:

  • Innovative Distribution: Testing a new distribution method of an existing project to effectively engage a specific audience through visuals.
  • Community Activations: Testing how visual storytelling can be leveraged to engage specific audiences and/or address specific community information needs
  • Field sustainability: building systems and models that push the field of visual storytelling or media ecosystem forward.

A CatchLight Global Fellowship is awarded for life. Fellows are encouraged to share expertise beyond their Fellowship cohort year, and CatchLight hopes that Fellows will offer and seek mentorship within the community throughout their careers.
