Annie Leibovitz has teamed up with photographer and philanthropist Lisa Saltzman to launch the Saltzman-Leibovitz Photography Prize, a new award dedicated to championing emerging photographers. With a total prize fund of $20,000, the initiative celebrates the power of visual storytelling and provides meaningful support to rising photography talent.
Saltzman, a multi-award-winning photographer, film producer, and philanthropist, established the prize through the Saltzman Family Foundation, which she founded in 2020 to honor her late parents. Passionate art collectors and patrons, they instilled a deep appreciation for the arts, which Saltzman continues to foster through initiatives like the Ralph Saltzman Prize at London’s Design Museum and the Saltzman Prize for emerging photographers at The Center for Photography at Woodstock.
