Kometa | Fellowship Programme for Journalists, Writers or Photographers

Funding for authors who document reality in contexts of war, censorship or severe political tension

The Kometa Fellows’ programme provides one year’s funding for the work of authors (journalists, writers or photographers) who document reality in contexts of war, censorship or severe political and social tensions. A patron funds one year’s work for each Fellow.

In 2025, Kometa already funded the work of three journalists: Dmitry Velikovsky, a Russian investigative journalist in exile; Rami Abou Jamous, a Palestinian journalist based in the Gaza Strip; and Julia Kochetova, a Ukrainian photojournalist and documentary filmmaker.

For this first 2026 call for applications, projects will focus on two themes: ‘disinformation and narrative wars’ and ‘political and social changes in the Gulf’.
