In 2017 a selected photographer will receive an honorarium of $6,000 to print a completed body of work between 40-50 images which will be acquired by the Library. That body of work will be preserved at the David M. Rubenstein Rare Book & Manuscript Library at Duke University, and be available for use by students, faculty, and independent researchers.
