Getty Images Introduces New "Grants for Good" Program

Getty Images is bringing together a distinguished panel of industry experts to judge the grant applications. The panel currently consists of Curator Christopher Phillips, International Center of Photography, and Publisher and Editor Lesley Martin, Aperture Foundation.

The two grant recipients will be announced at the 2009 Cannes Advertising Festival in June. In addition to the cash prize, the winning photographers will have the option to collaborate with Getty Images' team of art directors, photo editors and producers during the execution of their project. The photographers' resulting work will be showcased on gettyimages.com and will be used by the non-profit to develop more powerful visual communications.
