What it is

Spain's 30th annual award for documentary and photojournalistic series on health, humanitarian action, international cooperation, emergencies, social exclusion, migration, refuge, armed conflict, inequality or human rights violations, with particular value given to stories that receive little public coverage. Photographers submit a series of 5 to 10 images, at least half made between 2025 and 2026, anonymously. The submission process is blind: the jury assesses work without knowing the photographer's identity. Only single-frame photographs accepted. Digital work must stay within technical correction. Photographers retain rights to their images. Artificial intelligence-generated images are not accepted.

Who it is for

Photographers aged 18 and over from anywhere in the world.

Open to artists anywhere.

The call says: “Source page: open to applicants from any country”
