En Foco's New Works Photography Fellowship Awards is an annual program selecting three or more U.S. based photographers of Latino, African or Asian heritage, and Native People of the Americas and Pacific, through a national call for entries. The 15th edition of these awards is now open for entries.

New Works helps artists to create or complete an in-depth photographic series exploring themes of their choice, and provides the infrastructure needed for national visibility and a professional exhibition of their new work in the New York area.

Submissions in any photo-based style or genre are accepted.
