Deadline: 31 October 2014
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.
