Canon Europe (www.Canon-Europe.com), in partnership with Visa pour l’Image, announces two grants to support long-term documentary projects both in the photography and filmmaking space. Championing the very best in storytelling, the 26th Canon Female Photojournalist Grant celebrates an outstanding photographer in recognition of her contribution to photojournalism, whilst the 7th Canon Video Grant acknowledges those wanting to magnify a social, cultural or economic issue in documentary form. The grants are open to individuals worldwide. Canon Female Photojournalist Grant For the 26th year in a row, Canon and Visa pour l’Image will award an €8,000 grant to a female photojournalist pursuing a long-term documentary project. The grant is designed to either support the completion of an existing project or facilitate the making of a new one. Entries will be judged by a jury of renowned industry experts. In 2025, French photojournalist Marion Péhée was awarded for her long-term project documenting young adults in Ukraine. Former grantees (https://apo-opa.co/41JgwcU) include Anastasia Taylor-Lind, Natalya Saprunova and Acacia Johnson. Canon Video Grant Alongside this, Canon together with Visa pour l’Image are seeking documentary filmmakers for the 7th Canon Video Grant. In 2025, Shiho Fukada, photojournalist and filmmaker, was awarded for her project ‘Echoes of Little Tokyo’, focusing on a fifth-generation funeral home serving Los Angeles' Japanese-American community. The grant winner will receive €8,000, along with a loan of video kit including a Canon video camera and two lenses to make a short documentary of approximately eight minutes in length. Both grants form part of a long-standing partnership between Visa pour l’Image and Canon, celebrating its 37th anniversary this year. The winning projects of 2025 (Marion Péhée and Shiho Fukada's projects) will be presented at this year’s Visa pour l’Image festival in Perpignan, France.

With just one month to go before the African Mining Week (AMW) conference, global mining stakeholders are preparing for industry-shaping discussions, deal signings and new partnerships at Africa’s premier gathering for mining stakeholders. Scheduled for October 1–3, 2025, in Cape Town, AMW takes place under the theme From Extraction to Beneficiation: Unlocking Africa’s Mineral Wealth, uniting African stakeholders with global partners to enhance investment flows across the mining value chain. AMW 2025 has confirmed the participation of six African mining ministers including Martin Gama Abucha, Minister of Mining for South Sudan; Winston Chitando, Minister of Mines and Mining Development for Zimbabwe; Kenneth Zikhale Reeves Ng'oma, Minister of Mining for Malawi; Teddy Lwamba, Minister of Hydraulic Resources and Electricity for the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC); Emmanuel Kofi Buah, Ghana’s Minister of Lands and Natural Resources; and Karim Badawi, Egypt’s Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources. The ministers will engage in the Ministerial Forum, exclusive fireside chats and country spotlights, where they are expected to showcase policies aimed at attracting investments. The event will also feature high-level regulatory authorities including Moses Micheal Engadu, Secretary General of the African Union’s Africa Minerals Strategy Group and Khadidja Hassane Abdoulaye, Secretary of State for Petroleum, Mines and Geology for Chad. Sponsored by various stakeholders from across the industry, including the Africa Finance Corporation (AFC), Rand Refinery, Sidley Austin, OilDynamics, Moore Global and Power Trake, AMW will unite global investors with African projects. The event will feature investors such as the AFC, International Development Corporation of South Africa, African Infrastructure Investment Managers, World Mining Investment and Standard Bank, showcasing financing tools and strategies driving capital flows into Africa’s mining and infrastructure projects.

Participating producers include Implats, Valterra Platinum, Ivanhoe Mines, Pensana, B2Gold, First Quantum Minerals, Goldfields and Typhoon Greenfield Development. In addition, downstream players such as Rand Refinery – one of the world’s largest integrated metal refining facilities – Isondo Precious Metals, Toyota SA and others will highlight value-addition strategies in support of Africa’s beneficiation and local processing drive. AMW will also spotlight the energy–mining nexus, featuring insights from Francesco La Camera, Secretary General, International Renewable Energy Agency, and representatives from renewables firms JUWI, Solink and energy services company OilDynamics. The conference will run in parallel with African Energy Week: Invest in African Energies, creating a platform for collaboration between energy and mining stakeholders.
