Within the framework of Women by Women, PhotoVogue’s global open call dedicated to authorship and representation shaped by women, PhotoVogue and Pandora introduce the Pandora Grant, an initiative designed to support women’s creative practices and expand meaningful opportunities within contemporary visual culture.
The Grant reflects Pandora’s commitment to championing women’s empowerment, self expression, and creative independence. Across its global initiatives, Pandora has consistently invested in projects that foster inclusion, community, and opportunity. The Grant extends this vision into the field of image making, reinforcing the belief that creativity flourishes when it is structurally supported.
An artist will be selected from among those featured in the Women by Women open call. She will receive a 20,000 euro financial grant in recognition of the strength, clarity, and originality of her vision.
The selected artist will be officially announced during a dedicated conversation on Tuesday, March 3, at the PhotoVogue Festival. The talk, conceived to celebrate this moment, will bring together PhotoVogue and Pandora in a public dialogue on vision, responsibility, and the importance of cultural support for women artists.
“Supporting women’s vision requires more than symbolic gestures,” says Alessia Glaviano, Head of Global PhotoVogue and Director of the PhotoVogue Festival. “A 20,000 euro grant represents something concrete. It offers time, research, experimentation, and the freedom to take creative risks. Meaningful financial support can change the trajectory of an artist’s practice. With this initiative, we are not only recognizing talent, we are helping to create the conditions in which it can fully unfold.”
In a cultural environment where visibility is often fleeting, tangible support is transformative. Investing in women’s creative vision is not merely an act of recognition. It is a concrete gesture toward a more equitable and inclusive future for visual culture.
