The Gutmann award is determined by nomination only, and nominees are selected by jurors who were appointed by John Gutmann.

"I was seventeen when our house was raided for crack-cocaine, and that home was literally swept from beneath me. When my mother became a fugitive I found myself young, confused and literally adrift. I turned to photography because of its innate ability to preserve all that will eventually be lost. Before the State seized that house, I photographed it furiously in order to reclaim it as my own and make it pocketable: the rotting front door I loved; myself in each room; and the spot in the yard where our dog had been buried."
