Announcing Spring 2012 Glimpse Correspondents Program - $600 travel stipend + one on one editorial mentoring

Gilmpse is excited to announce the launch of Glimpse's Spring 2012 Correspondents Program.

The Glimpse Correspondents Program is an opportunity for students, volunteers, teachers, and travelers who will be abroad for part of 2011 to get their stories and photography published at high-profile publications--and get paid for it.

Powered by Matador, and supported in part by the National Geographic Society, the Glimpse Correspondents Program provides selected writers and photographers with a $600 stipend and one on one editorial training and support in building their portfolio of published work.

Anyone over 18 is eligible, and writers and photographers of all skill and experience levels are encouraged to apply. Selections are made not only on candidates' talents in writing or photography, but also their vision for engaging communities and finding unique stories while abroad, as well as their commitment to developing these stories into polished long-form narratives over the course of the program.
