Description
PROOF knows that emerging photojournalists want to do
meaningful projects related to human rights and social justice issues but
oftentimes don’t have the funds or connections to do so. For this reason,
they’re offering an award to help an emerging photojournalist jumpstart their
project by providing funding and support from the media community.
For this award,
PROOF have put together a panel of judges including: Leora Kahn, Executive Director of PROOF, Ed Kashi of VII, Amy
Yenkin from the Open
Society Foundations, and Ann Friedman, Executive Editor of GOOD.
Prize
The selected
photojournalist will receive USD $2500
to put toward their project. The final three candidates will have their work
showcased through GOOD.
Second and third place finalists will also have the opportunity for a portfolio
review with Jamie Wellford of Newsweek.
In
addition to the financial award, the winner will also:
·
Have the opportunity to directly
submit their work to Ed Kashi for review, guidance and feedback, for a period
of six months
·
Have their work featured on
PROOF’s website
Eligibility
