Photographers Jennifer Karady and Elley Ho, together with agencies Fraser Communications
and Heward Jue, Inc., have been chosen to receive this year’s Getty Images Creative
Grants. The grants are designed to enable photographers, filmmakers and creative
agencies to support nonprofits "by creating visual communication that will make 
a difference".

The two teams, each consisting of a photographer and communications professional,
will receive $20,000 to create compelling new imagery to strengthen the communications
of a nonprofit organisation.

The two beneficiary nonprofits are Volunteers of America, Los Angeles (VOALA) and
the Asante Africa Foundation.

Andrew Saunders, Senior Vice President, Creative at Getty Images, said: "It is both
inspiring and humbling to witness the powerful combination of creative thinking 
and commitment to advance social causes that this year’s Creative Grants submissions
represent."

More than 75 applications were received from photographer/agency teams in 20 countries.

The [Getty Images Creative Grants](http://www.gettyimages.com/grants) were created
in 2009 to help nonprofits use the power of imagery to promote positive change in
the world and help communicate their stories more effectively.

Next year's grants are likely to be open for applications in February 2014.
