The West Award is generously sponsored by Momenta alumni Patrick West, a documentary photographer and philanthropist based in Virginia and South Africa. West sponsors this award for every domestic Momenta workshop.
“Patrick believes in the power of documentary photography to change the world, and he supports students in their pursuit to use these skills as a force of change,” said Jaime Rose, COO of Momenta Group. “We are exceptionally grateful for his continued belief in the Momenta mission.”
The West Award winners receive a full scholarship to a domestic workshop with Momenta as well as a travel stipend of $500. Eligible students must be United States based, full-time college students currently enrolled at an accredited college or university. Undergraduate or graduate students may apply.
On every domestic workshop, Momenta also offers a Momenta Aspiring Professional Scholarship. The award gifts one professional or student winner a $500 scholarship for his or her tuition. Applicants must submit a letter of intent, a résumé, and a link to an online body of work. The leadership at Momenta will inform the Project San Francisco 2015 winner on June 19th, and they will have one week to register for the workshop. Undergraduate and graduate students and professional photographers may apply.
