The GFX Challenge Grant Program, sponsored by FUJIFILM, is a grant program that awards 5 Global Grant Award and 10 Regional Grant Award to help aspiring creatives bring their imaging projects to life. It is designed to nurture and develop the skills of emerging/promising content creators, giving them the opportunity to create content on topics that have significant meaning to them, while gaining experience using FUJIFILM GFX System gear.

Proposed projects may be submitted as still photography or in a movie format. At the conclusion of the production period in June 2024, the award recipients’ final content will be showcased on the fujifilm-x.com website as well as in the exhibition which will be held at FUJIFILM SQUARE, a gallery within FUJIFILM Headquarters in Roppongi, Tokyo.

Submit a project proposal for a chance to receive a $10,000 Global Grant Award, or a $5,000 Regional Grant Award, and take the first step in turning your creative idea into reality!
