7/ Her team has won Webby Awards and the prestigious Pictures of the Year International @poyipics Angus McDougall Excellence in Editing Award. Smith and Tuazon will select nine recipients.

6/ Smith has served as Director of Contact Press Images for nearly four decades. He has represented Annie Leibovitz, Don McCullin, and David Burnett, among many other photographers. Tuazon has served as the Director of Photography at CNN for more than a decade.

5/ We are fortunate to have Jeffrey Smith, Director of Contact Press Images @contactpressimages, and Bernadette Tuazon, @bptuazon Director of Photography at CNN Digital, serve as jurors for this year’s grant.

4/ He continues to exemplify professional leadership through his historic coverage of the White House for the Associated Press, and his steadfast defense of the First Amendment and the free press.

3/ Three donors chose to remain anonymous, and one donor contributed enough to fund two additional grants, thereby expanding the support we can offer. We express our appreciation to Evan Vucci @evanvucci, who generously donated his award funds to the Yunghi Grant this year.

2/ The Yunghi Grant is grateful to the four donors who helped make an additional four grants possible this year. These photojournalists care deeply about the profession and showed it through their generosity, which really highlights the sense of community in our field.
