Launched in 2006, the goal of the Follow The Light Surf Photography Grant is to provide aspiring photographers with a platform to showcase their work and be discovered.
Shortly after legendary surf photographer and 30-year photo editor of SURFING Magazine Larry “Flame” Moore’s passing in October 2005 a group of friends and family formed the Follow the Light Foundation to ensure that Flame’s legacy of passionately supporting up-and-coming surf photographers continued. Supported by some of the most iconic surf brands, the Follow The Light Surf Photography Grant has been a game-changer for some of today’s most important and talented photographers.
FTL is dedicated to honoring this next generation through an annual grant program that also includes an awards presentation ceremony highlighting the work of each of the five finalists.
FTL is part of U.S. Board Riders Clubs a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization
