Se o concursante non posue carnet profesional de xornalista, debe indicar na súa inscrición onde publicou as suas fotografias, a empresa ou medio de difusión para o que desenvolveu o proxecto xornalístico, ou os datos que establezan a súa práctica como fotoxornalista.
A Bolsa cun valor de 4000,00 €, está destinada a permitir que un fotoxornalista poida desenvolver durante o ano 2021 proxecto fotográfico sobre a rexión de Coimbra.
Do traballo resultante do proxecto, a Estação Imagem edita e publica un libro e produce unha exposición que sera inaugurada no ano seguinte, en Abril 2022, na cidade de Coimbra.
Para candidatarse á bolsa, os fotoxornalistas deben inscribirse na respectiva área do site www.estacao-imagem.com.

Será nomeado por ESTAÇÃO IMAGEM un mentor que acompañará, con contacto regular ao longo do ano, o traballo do bolseiro e como comisario decidirá sobre as fotografías que serán mostradas tanto na exposición como no catálogo, debendo esta selección reflectir obrigatoriamente o contido da memoria descriptiva.
Os premiados autorizan a publicación parcial ou integral de calquera imaxe no contexto da realización, divulgación, exposición e promoción da BOLSA ESTAÇÃO IMAGEM 2021 COIMBRA, non recibindo por eso remuneración algunha.
