-Glimpse’s Spring 2012 Correspondence 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.
