Early in 1973 the Arts Council initiated a grants scheme which aimed to provide financial support for photographers who wished to devote their time more or less exclusively for a period to non-commercial projects or assignments of their own choosing. Many of the photographers who received Awards have completed these projects.
Artists: Ian Berry, Josef Koudelka, Marketa Luskacova, Patrick Ward and Chris Killip.
