| 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 |

ArtsLink Projects support US artists, curators, presenters and non-profit arts organizations undertaking projects in Eastern and Central Europe, Russia, Central Asia and the Caucasus. Since 1992, ArtsLink has disbursed nearly $1.5 million in ArtsLink Projects awards. Awards are made in a given discipline on an alternate-year basis: 2009 Visual and Media Arts; 2010 Performing Arts and Literature. Applicants must be working with an artist or organization in that region and projects should be designed to benefit participants and audiences in both the US and the host country. In 2009, applications will be accepted from individual artists, presenters, and non-profit arts organizations working in visual and media arts. ArtsLink has a cycle of alternate year deadlines according to discipline. In 2010, applications will be accepted from individual artists, curators, and non-profit arts organizations working in dance, music, literature and theater. Support is provided to: create new work that draws inspiration from interaction with artists and the community in the country visited; establish mutually beneficial exchange of ideas and expertise between artists, arts organizations, and the local community; pursue artistic cooperation that will enrich creative or professional development, or has potential to expand the community's access to the art of other cultures. Examples of eligible ArtsLink Projects: A US choreographer collaborating with an Estonian composer on new work for an Estonian dance company The collaboration between a US translator and Hungarian writer on the translation and compilation of a body of poetry A US playwright conducting a series of workshops with members of the Slovenian theater community A US festival director visiting several Central European theater festivals to see work and present videos of US artists The selection process is extremely competitive.

All ArtsLink applications will be evaluated by peer review panels based on the following review criteria: Artistic excellence and merit of the applicant's work; Quality and feasibility of project plan; Potential for interactive dialogue and benefit of proposed project to both US applicant and overseas participants; Project's potential to bring the benefit of the cross-cultural exchange to other artists or audiences in both the US and the international participant's country.
