The Leopold Godowsky, Jr. Color Photography Awards honor the co-inventor
of Kodachrome film, a man whose contributions have had a major and lasting
impact on photography. Established in 1987, the international awards
recognize excellence in the field of contemporary color photography and
are gathered via nominations from a prestigious, international group
of curators, critics, editors, and educators. The
awards were made possible through the generosity of Godowsky, Jr.’s
late wife, Frances Gershwin Godowsky, in counsel with her son, Leopold
Godowsky III. Over the course of seven award
cycles the
awards have bolstered the careers of some 30 individual artists representing
more than 18 countries.
