2011 Emerging Photographer Award Winner Irina Werning from "Back to the Future"

AWARDS

The Magnum Foundation currently makes three awards annually to young photographers who are documenting issues of public concern. All three are open competitions, in which panels of professional photographers select the recipients. These awards do more than recognize and support new talent; showcasing remarkable work by young practitioners demonstrates the enduring power of documentary photography.
