Focus of work and entries: PHOTOJOURNALISM. (Please see the 2017 or previous years’ scholarship recipients to view examples of winning photographs and videos.) Scholarships will be awarded to those students whose work“tells a story”. This is a fairly broad topic and may include a variety of subject matter and approaches (breaking news, sporting events, etc.) Jim Cox, who was a television photojournalist in Phoenix, always “told a story” through his work, whether it was in video or still photography.


Scholarship applications must be submitted between July 15, 2018 and Midnight, the Evening of November 15th, 2018.


Scholarships will be announced and awarded in early to mid-December.
