Student Rules
The Alexia Foundation provides educational opportunities and cash grants to help students produce picture stories that further the Foundation's goals of promoting world peace and cultural understanding.
You are encouraged to consider stories that explore cultural understanding in or near you local community. While we do not discourage proposals on foreign topics, the judges give no extra weight to foreign topics, and indeed, think that you are more likely to complete a story near home than one abroad.
We welcome proposals for still photography projects or for multimedia projects.
