W. Eugene Smith Grant for 2014 calls for applicants

This year’s W. Eugene Smith grant for humanist photographers is now open. One photographer will be awarded $30,000 as a grant to complete a photo project that follows in the noble traditions of the late W. Eugene Smith. Smith’s photos famously captured the agony of World War 2 and the suffering of those caught in the midst of the action. In recent years those receiving the grant have been able to produce their own amazing and challenging collections of modern conflicts and problems, all sadly showing that the world has not really gone that far after all.
