The prize will honor work that is visually compelling, that bears witness, and that has integrity of purpose.
http://cds.aas.duke.edu/l-t/index.html Lange-Taylor Prize Overview: The year 2005 marks the fifteenth anniversary of the Dorothea Lange–Paul Taylor documentary prize, a $10,000 award given annually by the Center for Documentary Studies. First announced a year after the Center's founding at Duke University, the prize was created to encourage collaboration between documentary writers and photographers in the tradition of the acclaimed photographer Dorothea Lange and writer and social scientist Paul Taylor. In 1941 Lange and Taylor published American Exodus, a book that renders human experience eloquently in text and images and remains a seminal work in documentary studies. The Lange-Taylor Prize honors their important collaborative work.
