Each year, Houston Center for Photography selects an expert writer, critic, or curator to identify two artists from hundreds of submissions.

• The Carol Crow Fellowship seeks to award photographers who are engaged in advocating for the environment and celebrating our natural landscapes. Selected artists exemplify excellence and innovation in their approach to image making. The Carol Crow Fellowship Award aims to highlight and offer artists the platform and support to continue developing their practice. This award is open to photographers from anywhere on the globe.

• The HCP Fellowship is awarded to a photographer who highlights and provides insight into current themes, technologies, and practices in photography. There is no theme assigned to the HCP Fellowship.
