Do NOT send zip disks, CDs, or videotapes with your entry. NO entries will be returned unless prior arrangements are made. In the application you will be asked to fully detail your idea about documenting a project that reflects the theme. If selected, the photographer must take an unpaid leave of absence for approximately three months so that he or she is unencumbered by daily assignment responsibilities. If you wish to have confirmation that your application has been received, please attach a self-addressed, stamped postcard.
Former winners are eligible after three years from their last win.
Expenses for the project will be paid from the stipend. It may be photographed in either black and white or color or both.
