Inge Morath Award

The Inge Morath Award was established by Magnum Photos in tribute to Inge Morath, an Austrian-born photographer who was associated with Magnum for almost fifty years, and who died in January, 2002. Funded by her colleagues at Magnum Photos, the Award is administered by the Magnum Foundation in cooperation with the Inge Morath Foundation.

The annual Inge Morath Award is given to a woman photographer under thirty years of age, to assist in the completion of a long term documentary project. The winner and finalists are selected by the photographer members of Magnum Photos, and a representative of the Morath Foundation, at the Magnum annual meeting. It is the only award that carries the imprimatur of Magnum Photos, bringing great prestige to those selected as winners and finalists.

The call and guidelines for submissions are announced annually by The Magnum Foundation and The Inge Morath Foundation on their web sites, usually in January/February.
