Magnum Photos Inge Morath Award

Magnum Photos announces the fourth $5000 Inge Morath Prize to be
awarded to a woman photographer under thirty years of age. The prize
is designed to assist in the completion of a long term documentary
project.

Inge Morath was an Austrian-born photographer who was associated with
Magnum for almost fifty years. She died in January, 2002. As Inge
devoted much of her enthusiasm to encouraging women photographers,
this award is given as a tribute by her colleagues.
