Rather than awarding $40,000 to a single photographer, this year’s W. Eugene Smith Grant in Humanistic Photography is doing something different: it will award five photographers each with $10,000.
The W. Eugene Smith Memorial Fund has been supporting photographers engaged in compassionate photojournalism since 1979. The global pandemic prompted it to modify its approach for 2020, preferring to spread its annual Eugene Smith Grant between several photographers rather than awarding it to an individual.
