The 38th Annual Infinity Awards will be held on the evening of Monday, April 25 at Ziegfeld Ballroom (141 West 54th Street, New York City). This event is ICP's largest fundraiser and benefits its full range of education and exhibition programs. This year's in-person event will be the first since a virtual ceremony was held in May 2020.
"This year, we honor artists whose photographs focus on environmental justice, climate change, conservation and related environmental issues -- among the most critical concerns of our time and our future," said David E.

The non-juried Infinity Awards were selected by ICP's Board of Trustees to acknowledge major achievements in photography and to honor Cornell Capa, who founded ICP in 1974 to preserve the legacy of "concerned photography" -- the creation of socially and politically minded images that have the potential to educate and change the world. Since 1985, the Infinity Awards have recognized major contributions and emerging talent in the fields of photojournalism, art, fashion photography and publishing.
The Infinity Awards Chair is ICP Trustee Diane Tuft. The event's Honorary Committee members include Djeneba Aduayom, Sade Baderinwa, Alexandra Bell, Isolde Brielmaier, Kimberly Drew, Jess T.
