SUMMARY:DEADLINE: Visual Journalism Support for Mental Health Reporting
DESCRIPTION:“For this second cycle of the Mental Health Visual Desk\, CatchLight is looking to support local newsrooms whose reporting efforts are helping reframe how mental health is seen\, felt\, and understood — and\, crucially\, what can be done about it. \n“Building on our first year of work across California\, CatchLight is expanding this initiative nationally. We’ll award up to six grants to local newsrooms producing solutions-driven visual journalism on mental health. Both new and in-progress reporting projects are eligible. \n“Mental health is a critical and complex issue intersecting with nearly every aspect of social life and public policy. Visual journalism — through photography\, illustration\, video\, data visualization\, and design — can play a powerful role in illuminating these connections with nuance and empathy. This cycle\, we’re especially interested in reporting that doesn’t just document the crisis\, but examines possible solutions and what’s already working: the people\, programs\, and policies making a real difference in communities across the country. \n“Through this initiative\, CatchLight aims to support visual storytelling that goes beyond statistics to reflect local community experiences\, challenges\, cultural context\, and structural realities — with an eye toward community solutions. \n“We are seeking proposals from local newsrooms interested in producing visually-driven stories that explore mental health through a solutions lens. \n“This initiative offers both financial support [$6\,000] and visual editorial guidance to help newsrooms deepen their coverage\, enhance storytelling impact\, leverage visuals for impactful community engagement and center the lived experiences of local communities\, issues and perspectives often underrepresented in mainstream media.”

SUMMARY:DEADLINE: EJN Workshop on Covering Ocean Science and Deep-Sea Exploration for Brazilian Journalists
DESCRIPTION:“Few people realize that humanity has only visually documented an area of the seafloor roughly equivalent to the size of the São Paulo metropolitan area—the vast majority of the ocean floor remains unmapped\, unexplored and unknown. But deep sea ecosystems are critical to global biodiversity\, carbon storage and climate regulation\, and are increasingly threatened by human activity such as deep-sea mining and ocean trawling. A map in the same report referenced above shows how little of the seafloor off Brazil’s own coast has been visually documented\, underscoring the scale of the opportunity and the urgency of building public and political awareness. \n“With support from the Schmidt Ocean Institute\, Internews’ Earth Journalism Network (EJN) is pleased to announce an in-person three-day workshop opportunity for up to 10 Brazilian journalists to enhance their reporting on topics related to ocean science\, marine biodiversity and deep-sea exploration. \n“Selected participants will travel to Fortaleza\, Brazil\, to attend the workshop which will take place from September 14-16…. For participants based outside the Fortaleza area\, EJN will cover non-refundable economy-class airfare\, accommodation\, meals\, travel medical insurance and ground transportation costs related to workshop participation. Participants based in the Fortaleza area will receive modest per diem to cover their daily travel costs.”

DESCRIPTION:“The Ocean Nexus International Fellowship is a program for journalists created by Ocean Nexus in collaboration with the Uproot Project\, seeking to advance transformative changes at the intersection of ocean governance\, social justice\, and equity. Participating journalists\, working closely with Ocean Nexus scientists\, aim to deepen their understanding of how our relationship with the ocean is intertwined with systemic inequities\, particularly within historically marginalized communities\, across the globe. As a part of the fellowship\, fellows produce resource guides that will help other journalists understand the topics they covered and help expand the body of knowledge about ocean equity.” \nThe three-month fellowship (June-August 2026) is for non-US journalists who are members of Uproot (free to join) or one of its partners and includes a $2\,000 stipend. Apply by June 14\, 11:59 p.m. GMT.

SUMMARY:DEADLINE: Knight-Risser Prize for Western Environmental Journalism
DESCRIPTION:“Good environmental journalism changes things. It puts a name to what was once invisible\, and makes people care about places and problems they might never otherwise encounter.
