National Geographic Society - The Big Questions

"Supported by the John Templeton Foundation, The National Geographic Society seeks innovative photography, short film, writing, data visualization and other storytelling proposals to help people consider some of the greatest questions of our time.

These projects should in some way work to explore one of the following questions:

  1. What does it mean to be human?
  2. Curiosity: What are the boundaries of Earth, or more precisely, what are the limits to what we can understand?
  3. Human/Nature: What is the relationship between the human and natural worlds?"

Applicants may request up to $100,000, though it is recommended that if you have five years or less of experience, you request up to $20,000.
