Description: For student returning to OCC in Fall-10, commercial orientation preferred. In loving memory of Rick Malmin, Orange Coast College alumnus and professional photographer.

Rick's career spanned the spectrum of professional photography - journalism, advertising, and commercial work. His work won several awards and culminated in a one-man posthumous show.

After Rick's tragic and untimely death during a photographic assignment, his family and friends created this perpetual award which will be awarded annually to photography students who best exemplify Rick's photography ideals.

Rick will be missed as a man and as an artist but it is our hope that some of him will live on in the recipients of this award.
