Is this only for photographers?

No. Visual storytelling can matter, but the program may fit broader science, education, narrative, or public communication projects when the current rules allow.

What is a common mistake?

A common mistake is treating the term as a label instead of connecting it to verified requirements, applicant evidence, and the specific Fulbright award context.
