Margaret McNamara Education Grants Photo Competition

Winners will be announced in August 2025

Margaret McNamara Education Grants (MMEG) announces the launch of our second annual photo competition. This year the theme, echoing MMEG’s tagline, is “extraordinary women.” Images must (1) have been taken in one of the countries on MMEG’s eligibility list for its grantees, OR (2) be of a woman or women from one of those countries (https://www.mmeg.org/eligibility-country-list).

MMEG is a nonprofit, public charity founded in 1981 that awards education grants to exceptional women from developing countries who are at least 25 years old and enrolled at a university in the United States or Canada or at select universities in South Africa and Latin America.

Prizes:
MMEG will award US$500 to the photographer of a single image that best represents the topic of the competition: “extraordinary women.” The first runner-up will receive US$300. The second runner-up will be awarded US$100.
