About the Award and Competition:
When Will Grossman, long time Durham resident, business owner, community activist and artist, passed away in 2012 his family and friends wanted to remember him and provide for the community through an artistic legacy. The generosity of many helped establish a fund to endow a photo competition in remembrance of Will Grossman and his good work - and to promote photography in the Triangle.
