Submissions close on 10 September 2023.

• Five photographers will be selected to visit and document the on-ground events at the Tata Literature Live! The Mumbai LitFest 2023.
• Each photographer will get special access to the events at the festival, and will be encouraged to build a visual narrative of the experience and of the literature-loving community in the city. 
• The invitation is to create a visual essay of photographs that showcases the photographer’s authentic and original style, as opposed to regular ‘event photography’.
• The five photographers will have to submit one photograph that symbolises the “moment of the day” on each day of the festival.
• After the festival is over, the photographers will have 3 weeks to work on their visual essay. 
• Their final essays will be presented to the jury, who will pick the recipient of the fellowship.
• This chosen photographer will receive a grant from the festival to create an ongoing series on the theme of “Literature Lovers of Mumbai”.
