The Magnum Expression Award was established by Magnum Photos in an effort to raise awareness and inspire change through photography.
The photographic industry is in a state of change. New models for production and distribution have taken hold and images are available to a wider audience than ever before. In this climate, where a photograph can make its way around the world in less than a minute, we need to consider the impact of our work on a global scale and let this inform our efforts. We need to be innovators as well as artists.
The purpose of the Magnum Expression Award is to discover and encourage photographers working in this spirit.
