“While nearly 140 photographers submitted entries from 29 countries, only two carry the distinction of receiving the 2008 Getty Images Grants for Editorial Photography. Ian Martin of Oakland, California and Lorena Ros of Brooklyn, New York were the first two photographers selected to receive the award this year.
Four judges met to evaluate the entries in January, while the awards were first announced this Thursday. Simon Barnett of Newsweek, David Griffin of National Geographic, Alison Morely of the International Center of Photography, and Rosanna Sguera of Vanity Fair sat on this year’s panel.
In addition to receiving their $20,000 grants to pursue the work they proposed, the photographers will receive editorial support from Getty Images photo editors. They’re also presented with the opportunity to sign a one-year exclusive-rights deal with Getty, which will promote their work to editorial clients.“
