Open Call - Young Photographers' Mentorship Programme 2024

Apply by Mon 30 Sep 2024 (2359H)

The Young Photographers’ Mentorship Programme (YPMP) aims to develop the artistic voice and ambitions of young photographers. This three-week long mentorship programme encourages them to explore and experiment with image-based work, and deepen their understanding of the creative and professional possibilities in photography. The programme was formerly known as the Shooting Home Youth Awards.

Participants will have the opportunity to learn from some of the region’s foremost visual storytellers as mentors and guest lecturers. Topics covered include how to develop a personal photographic practice, professional and ethical considerations, and exhibition making. They will work towards completing one photo project, which will be presented at Objectifs in the form of an open studio at the end of the programme.

YPMP is open to Singapore-based photographers aged 15 to 23 years old.

Only 12 participants will be selected for this programme. Participants must attend all workshop sessions in person.
