Domestic Photography Winner: “No Greater Love,” Carol Guzy, The Washington Post:  “No Greater Love” paints a strong emotional narrative that speaks to the process of dying, as well as Alzheimer’s disease, aging, and home health care.  Her work illustrates a situation that connects strongly with viewers, with a story that goes well beyond its expected natural ending. Carol Guzy has an exceptional gift for engaging viewers with the people and issues she chronicles with her camera. Guzy was the RFK Grand Prize Winner in 2009.

International Photography Winner: “In Mexico’s war on drugs, battle lines are drawn in chalk,” Sarah Voisin, The Washington Post: The drug war in Mexico has permeated Mexican life. Sarah Voisin’s gritty and raw photos paint a frightening picture of a burgeoning drug trade just south of our border. Voisin demonstrated tremendous courage, placing herself in a lawless war zone to cover an issue that affects families and governments in the United States and Latin America.  The photographer proves herself resilient, resourceful and greatly talented.
