Firecracker was established in 2011 to promote women working in photography, through a variety of online features, networking opportunities and public events. In 2012, Firecracker launched its inaugural Photographic Grant, awarded to a female or non binary photographer to assist with completing a documentary project. Now in its 10th year, Firecracker continues to champion the work of female, female identifying and non binary photographers internationally through its online platform, annual grant, social media channels and event program.
