Working with our educational partners Ideas Tap and NGO Save the Children, Magnum Photos is pleased to be able to offer the opportunity for one young photographer to be commissioned and mentored for an exciting project in Central America.

Right from the beginning, photography has been at the heart of Save the Children’s campaigns. Documenting real people, in their environment, and sharing their personal experiences with mass audiences, is key to the charity’s visual communications.

One applicant will win the opportunity to undertake an international photographic commission in Central America for Save the Children under the guidance of Magnum photographer Alex Webb. This is a mentoring opportunity aimed at emerging photographers aged 18-30. They will also win £1,000 from IdeasTap.

The assignment will take place sometime between 19 November and 5 December. The purpose of this trip will be to gather stories that can be used in the media about how climate change is affecting children in the region.
