DUE DATE: November 30th
Photojournalists,
We’re looking for smart, ambitious photo story pitches about criminal justice, immigration and related issues (police etc). These should not be already completed projects or stories that have been published elsewhere. We’re looking for projects that might take 1-2 weeks in the field that we’ll help you form and produce as you delve into your reporting and shooting work.
Please email the following as an attached pdf file to photostories@themarshallproject.org using the subject line "The Marshall Project Photo Essays / YOUR NAME HERE."

Pitch
What’s the story? What’s the narrative your photos will tell? Why does it matter? Is there a news hook (if yes what? If not, why?) ? What is new about this story? Who are the characters? What will the images show us? Why are you the one to tell this story?
Access
What access do you have? We’re looking for stories that have promising access and multiple sources you’ve already done some leg work on. Be specific.
Proposed production
How long will this take, how many shoot days are you proposing?
Looking forward to hearing from you!
