PAYING IT FORWARD
APhotoADay’s Backyard Storytelling Grant is a $4,000 prize awarded to a visual storyteller to aid in a project within 500 miles - or roughly one tank of gas - of the journalist’s home. Our goal is to reward and encourage finding the extraordinary in the ordinary, while also focusing on one's community. Many times the best stories - the ones that resonate the most - are the ones that hit closest to home.
Past winners are: Tommaso Rada (2016) and Greg Kahn (2015).
You can read more about their winning proposals, see images, and read the judges' comments on our blog.
