This years winner of the Grange prize, $50 000 award, is Marco Antonio Cruz. This news is old news since the announcement of the winner was at the end of May, but regardless I thought this should be up here since I posted about the contest when it first started. My favorites were a toss between Cruz and Lynne Cohen, so I am happy to see that Cruz’s essay on the blind in Mexico won the audience over. His essay is very touching and eloquently done. If you haven’t seen his work yet, check out his new web site.
