| Dorothea Lange-Paul Taylor Prize | Updated October 22nd, 2008 |
|
The year 2008 marks the eighteenth anniversary of the Dorothea 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. The prize is intended to fund collaborative work by a writer and a photographer in the formative or fieldwork stages of a documentary project. Submissions on any subject are welcome. Winners of the Lange-Taylor competition will have their work featured in Document, a periodical published by the Center for Documentary Studies, as well as in a virtual gallery on the CDS Web site. Collaboration is essential to the nature of the work this award supports; therefore, individual submissions will not be considered. More than two people may apply as long as one of the collaborators is a writer and one is a photographer working with black-and-white or color still photography. Individuals currently associated with the Center for Documentary Studies are not eligible for the prize. All required materials must be submitted under one cover during the month of January and postmarked no later than January 31, 2008. Each year a judging panel, including a prominent photographer and an accomplished writer, as well as individuals with experience in a variety of documentary arts, arts management, and publishing, is selected by the director and staff. Winners will be chosen and notified by mid-summer 2008. Public announcement of the winners will be made by the end of the summer. The award will be reported to the winners on a 1099-Miscellaneous tax form. It is the responsiblity of the winners to file their tax liability. Return of all submissions will be made after the final decision has been reached. Images can originate in any format, but must be submitted digitally on cd. (No e-mail submission of images is accepted.) All written materials should be compiled in the order requested below on white 8 1/2 x 11 paper with the writer's and photographer's last names at the top of each page. The writing sample should be double-spaced, while all other written materials should be single-spaced. An application fee of $35 is required. Enclose a one-page proposal letter describing the project and outlining work planned and a one-page statement about the collaboration of the writer and the photographer. This statement should consider how the writer and photographer plan to work together on a joint project. Consider also in the statement the relationship of the project's photographs and words. John Szarkowski observed that in Lange and Taylor's work, "the words and images . . . supplement[ed], [did] not repeat . . . each maintained its own integrity." Applicant is required to have a Writer's ten-page sample (double-spaced) on the proposed topic and in the style intended for project. If no work at all has been done on proposed topic, the writer should provide a sample demonstrating how the subject will be developed. send: Complete MS looking for: Non-Fiction Book specifically: Creative Non-Fiction |

| Diagram 2008 Hybrid Essay Contest | Updated October 05th, 2008 |
|
DIAGRAM announces, to inaugurate our new nonfiction editorship (of Nicole Walker) and our continuing interest in reinvented, unusual literature, a contest for an unpublished (in a serial/magazine/journal/book or on a non-personal website) hybrid essay. Submit an unpublished essay of up to 10,000 words with a $15 reading fee by October 30, 2008. Judges are particularly interested in hybrid essays, texts that exhibit some form of hybridity. The prize is $1000 + publication. They will shoot for publishing several of the finalists, too, in DIAGRAM. What is a hybrid essay? Well, many essays are hybrids to start with—involving fiction, memoir, poetry, art, photography, mathematics. The essay is a hybrid form—it can take many shapes. Judges want to encourage this, to see your weirdo essays that have visual elements, information from other disciplines, or that marry two forms, or three shapes, or whatever. What do they mean? See Lia Purpura's forthcoming essay (DIAGRAM 8.4) on hybridity, Albert Goldbarth's book Griffin (Essay Press, 2007), or really nearly any essay that qualifies as lyric for some examples. Judges like their descriptions ambiguous because they don't want to limit what they get. No one likes a reductive definition. They need to receive your submission by October 30, 2008, for your work to be considered. They'll read everything closely, pick finalists, and hopefully announce our winner by Xmas 2008. They'll send out notifications to everyone who submitted. Good luck, and thanks for entering the contest. send: Complete MS looking for: Article |
