Three photographers will be selected from a national call for entries to receive:
  • An honorarium and exhibition prep stipend
  • Photographic supplies (varies according to funding year)
  • Technical assistance
  • A photographer's page on www.enfoco.org
  • and a group exhibition in New York City.
Juror: Melissa Harris, Editor of Aperture magazine
