Applications for the Thomson Reuters Yannis Behrakis Photojournalism Grants 2020 are now open. Reuters is seeking to develop next generation of photojournalists with the expanded Yannis Behrakis Photojournalism Grants. The program offers grants to help fund assignments and projects that will advance the recipients’ experience and skills.
