Best in Show / Art Wolfe Award: The photographer whose image is chosen as Best in Show for the Art Wolfe Award will receive a special prize. This year the grand prize is the Canon EOS-1D Mark IV digital camera (body only), the next chapter of EOS offering a comprehensive combination of speed, accuracy and image quality. (Value $5000.) The recipient of this award may or may not be included in any of the other winning categories. This award will be given to the photographer whose image best exemplifies the mission of the ICP Awards – and what founder Art Wolfe proclaimed in his original vision for this invitational in 1997: “an event for the advancement of photography as a unique medium capable of bringing awareness and preservation to our environment through art.” Thanks to our sponsor Canon for this prestigious prize.
Honorable Mentions in each category will be included in the exhibition(s) and in all communications regarding results of the awards selections, including the ICP Awards website and gallery.
*Note that cash/merchandise prizes in each category are dependent on number of submissions for the category.
