The Photographers Giving Back Photo Award, a young competition founded in Sweden last year, has released the names of the 28 nominees and images competing for 2008 prizes. The Associated Press and Getty Images have three nominations each; Vu and VII have two each.
The PGB Photo Award attracted some 6,000 entries from 2,300 photographers working in 70 countries. The contest will award only two winners: Photographer of the Year and Picture of the Year. The total prize amount is $30,000. PGB will also donate funds to the causes reflected in the award-winning works.
