The Design Trust for Public Space is now accepting submissions from New York-based photographers for the 2011 Photo Urbanism Fellowship. The 2011 fellowship will focus on the topic of "urban agriculture in New York City." The resulting photographs will inform the current Design Trust project, Five Borough Farm, but the fellow will have full artistic vision over how they approach and interpret the topic.

The Photo Urbanism fellowship includes a $5,000 stipend, a public presentation, and a Design Trust publication dedicated to the fellow's work at the conclusion of the fellowship. The fellow must be based in New York City in order to concentrate on the specific local content of the program, and is expected to complete their project within one year.

The Design Trust acts as a resource and sounding board throughout the project, and will provide access to urban agriculture practitioners and locations citywide. The photographer is expected to maintain a self-directed work schedule and will meet with the Design Trust on a regular basis throughout the course of their fellowship.

Applications must be received by April 25, 2011. Full submission guidelines, eligibilty rules, and timeline can all be found in the Call for Submissions (PDF).


About the Photo Urbanism Program  
     
Photography plays an integral role in the examination, discussion, and re-imagining of New York City's public realm. The Design Trust Photo Urbanism program supports this role by offering fellowships to photographers to produce new bodies of work exploring the city's complex public realm in conjunction with active Design Trust projects.

Photo Urbanism was founded in 2001 and has supported five distinct photographics studies:
   - The Edge of New York by Diane Cook & Len Jenshel
  - The Bridge Project by Jonathan Smith
  - Portrait of Jamaica Bay by Travis Roozée
  - Out My Window by Gail Albert Halaban
  - Same Time Every Day by Kramer O'Neill
