ICP Showcases Five Years of Fujifilm GFX Challenge Grant Projects
The exhibition "The GFX Challenge Grant: Five Years, Five Projects" is being showcased by the International Center of Photography (ICP). This event highlights the achievements of the Fujifilm GFX Challenge Grant Program, which annually honors photographers worldwide whose proposals show remarkable ambition and creativity. Recipients benefit from funding, mentorship from Fujifilm's imaging experts, and access to the GFX System, a large format digital camera platform, enabling them to produce work independently. ICP's curatorial team selected one project from each of the first five years of the program: Rodrigo Illescas (2021), Katie Orlinsky (2022), Shina Peng (2023), Reinis Hofmanis (2024), and Lee-Ann Olwage (2025). The exhibition runs from October 15 to October 19, 2026, and is categorized as a School Education Exhibition, exempt from event admissions. It underscores the program's international influence and commitment to long-term photographic endeavors.
