michel du cille fellowship

Annual fellowship to honor the memory of Michel du Cille, a dedicated photojournalist who died in 2014 while covering the Ebola crisis in Liberia. Our goal is to encourage photojournalists to cover topics of great importance in today's changing world.

Michel's photographs touched audiences in ways words alone never reach. They crossed boundaries of every kind and connected us to deeper truths.

He went where others would not go and showed respect to all he met. His images spoke eloquently and directly. He was diligent in pursuit of the truth. His work and his life set the measure of The du Cille Fellowship.

The completed work should be a substantive, in-depth exploration of the recipient's project that meets the highest standards of contemporary storytelling.
