The
Dorothea Lange-Paul Taylor Prize, Durham NC
Deadline: January
31, 2008
Lange-Paul Taylor documentary prize, a $20,000
award given annually by the Center for Documentary Studies. First
announced a year after the Center's founding at Duke University, the
prize was created to encourage collaboration between documentary
writers and photographers in the tradition of the acclaimed
photographer Dorothea Lange and writer and social scientist Paul
Taylor. In 1941 Lange and Taylor published An American Exodus, a
book that renders human experience eloquently in text and images and
remains a seminal work in documentary studies. The Lange-Taylor
Prize honors their important collaborative work.
The
Lange-Taylor Prize is offered to a writer and a photographer in the
early stages of a documentary project. By encouraging such
collaborative efforts, the Center for Documentary Studies supports
the documentary process in which writers and photographers work
together to record the human story.
