A Special Tribute to photographers who have passed away in late 2012 and 2013 will be showcased along with video compilations.
The Lucie Awards, produced by the Lucie Foundation (a non-profit charitable foundation), honor the achievements of the world's most accomplished photographers, discover and cultivate emerging talent through mentoring and scholarship programs, and promote the appreciation of photography worldwide.
Hossein Farmani, founder of The Lucie Awards remarked, "On the heels of last year's successful Lucies in Beverly Hills, we are thrilled to be returning to New York City and for the very first time in our 11 year history, to the distinguished Carnegie Hall. We look forward to celebrating the greats alongside the talented new arrivals on the photography scene and as always, to renewing friendships, on photography's special night."
Cat Jimenez, Executive Director of the Lucie Foundation commented, "As the Lucie Foundation matures, we can begin to acknowledge those photographers who have received less attention than others in the annals of photography. We are also able to honor those that were the first to achieve a mark of significance, such as Eli Reed (2011), the first African-American Magnum photographer. We witness the ever-changing landscape, where even the very term "photographer" continues to evolve, as does the job performed. It grows ever more important to pay special tribute to the likes of 2013 Honoree and Pulitzer Prize winner John H. White and the others who leave an indelible contribution through their devotion to the craft."
Tickets for The Lucie Awards are on sale on August 29, 2013, at www.lucies.org.
