Thank you for your interest in Emerging Creators Project.

Our programs are designed for students and early-career creators who want greater access to mentorship, practical experience, equipment, creative resources, and clearer pathways into photography, video, media, design, and storytelling careers.

This application helps us learn more about you, your interests, and the support you need to move forward.

Before You Apply

Please review our Programs Overview page to learn about the Emerging Creators Internship Program and Emerging Creators Residency Program.

The Internship Program is primarily for college students, recent graduates, and early-career professionals seeking practical experience and professional development.

The Residency Program is primarily for college students who need access to equipment, workspace, mentorship, and time to further develop their creative skills or projects.

You do not need professional equipment, an established network, or a polished portfolio to apply.

What to Expect

The application should take approximately 5-10 minutes to complete.

We will ask about:

• Your creative interests and experience

• Your educational or professional background

• The program that interests you

• What you hope to learn or develop

• Your availability

• Any equipment, access, or support needs

You may also share examples of your work, but work samples are not required unless stated for a specific program or cohort.

Participation Commitment

Emerging Creators programs require consistent participation, communication, and a willingness to receive feedback.

Career Launch Program participants should expect to commit approximately 10–15 hours each week across at least three days. Commitments for other tracks and the Residency Program will be listed with each cohort opportunity.

Please apply only if you believe you can meet the stated expectations or are willing to speak with us about support you may need.
