A Bigger Spotlight on Young Talents This has been a big week for emerging talents. On Tuesday, W magazine named the winner of its first photography talent competition, called "The Shot." The winner of the contest, in a partnership with the International Center of Photography, was Boo George, an Irish photographer who has been working in London and New York since 2006 and has shot features for magazines including i-D, Love and British Vogue. Stefano Tonchi, the editor in chief of W, said that Mr. George's work has "great authenticity and tons of attitude." He was the first choice of several judges, including Polly Allen Mellen. The award includes an assignment to photograph a major feature for W's September issue. Meanwhile, in London, Nicholas Kirkwood was named the winner of the latest British Fashion Council/Vogue Fashion Fund contest. The award, which includes an 18-month business mentorship, is patterned after the popular American contest organized by Vogue and the Council of Fashion Designers of America. With magazines, spirits makers and trade groups all looking to support young designers and photographers these days, there are prizes for everyone. Yet another award called ANDAM, which is offered by French cultural institutions to bring new talent to Paris, announced on Tuesday that its annual prize had risen for 2013 to 250,000 euros (about $336,000).
