educational outreach organization by women photographers to communicate
ideas, opportunities, and their passion for photography. In 1985, the

have contributed significantly to the world of photography. Previous
winners include Eve Arnold, Ruth Bernhard, Judy Dater, Marion Post Wolcott,
Linda McCartney, Mary Ellen Mark, Ruth Orkin, Joyce Tenneson, Berenice
