I am in dire need of such support, enabling me to continue doing what I have, thus far, dedicated much of my life to: photography. While I am certain that an innumerable amount of talent artists exist, all of whom may be worthy of consideration for this prize, I cannot articulate enough how such an award will engender an immense leap forward for myself. This year has been acutely devastating for me in that I have been literally forced to consider leaving the field due to lack of opportunity and support. This opportunity will clearly allow me to rebuild via equipment purchases and a launching of photo series I've long dreamed of pursuing, and the launching of my first photography book. I can go on tirelessly about what I can gain such an opportunity. I feel as though all I've ever needed was a lump sum of financial support to assist me but, thus far, such opportunities have evaded me. I am not from an affluent background like many of my photographic peers and I simply need such a 'prize' bestowed upon me. I can do wonderous creative things given the opportunity. I am extremely creative, I make backdrops with me own hands and I love the visual arts and want to dedicate my life to it. Please inform me of how to apply.
