Moe Fineberg Award
The Moe Fineberg Award is given to the fifirst place recipient of the single feature category.
Morris “Moe” Fineberg dedicated his life to capturing the graphic news events of the day on fifilm. Moe Fineberg was killed at the age of 56, on assignment for the Boston Post.
On September 30, 1949 he was assigned to cover the mock U.S. Marine and U.S. Navy ship to
shore inva-
sion landing at Carson Beach in South Boston. Suddenly the event took on the stark grim reality of war itself as Moe fell, mortally wounded,
on the sandy beach. He was killed by a pyrotechnic projection shell that exploded prematurely in the barrel of the projector.
Jim Callaghan, a Boston Globe photog- rapher, standing only a few feet away at the time of the explosion, said, “Moe died clutching his camera in one hand and a plate holder in the other.”
