CALLANAN EXCELLENCE IN TEACHING AWARD Initiated in 1998, the Callanan Excellence in Teaching Award honors a high school, college, or postgraduate teacher’s dedication and commitment to their students and field. Educators in all areas of photographic teaching are eligible – fine art, documentary, history, and criticism. This award recognizes educators who demonstrate a genuine passion for teaching, an ability to excite students to learn, respect students as individuals, and an enduring artistic curiosity.
