“The inaugural Nick Oza Visual Fellowship will uplift one emerging or mid-career documentary photographer who tells the stories of their own community in Arizona and New Mexico (we will consider other surrounding underrepresented regions in the Southwest depending on need).

“Created by Altavoz Lab, as an expansion of our community fellowships, the fellowship honors the late Nick Oza, an immigrant and Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist whose compassion, humility, and artistry continue to inspire visual storytellers across the country.”

Duration: 1 year total. Includes $15,000 stipend, mentorship, personal development opportunities and community building.
