World Press Photo and Human Rights Watch have jointly announced a call for applications
for the Fourth Tim Hetherington Grant. Photojournalists, documentary
photographers and multimedia producers around the world are invited to
apply for it.
The grant, worth 20,000 euro, is
intended for the support of a visual storyteller in completing an
existing project on a human rights theme.
The grant celebrates the legacy of
photojournalist and filmmaker Tim Hetherington, who was killed when a
group of journalists came under fire during fighting between rebels and
General Gaddafi’s forces in Misrata, Libya in April 2011. Tim
Hetherington was committed to finding new ways to tell compelling
stories about politics, conflict and the human experience, and to relay these stories to a wide audience.
A panel of judges reviews the
applications for qualities that defined Tim’s career. Successful
candidates present work on a human rights theme that operates on
multiple platforms and in a variety of formats; that crosses boundaries
between breaking news and longer-term investigation; and that
demonstrates a consistent moral commitment to the lives and stories of
the subjects. The Tim Hetherington Grant is a joint initiative of World
Press Photo and Human Rights Watch, with the support of Tim’s parents,
Alastair and Judith Hetherington.
