The contest has a registration fee is €5 for project, that will be paid when the photos are uploaded through the PICTER platform. Each participant may submit more than one project.
OBJEC
The photographic projects submitted must address themes related to Human Rights and global justice and integrate the gender perspective. Among the selected works, priority will be given to those whose themes best incorporate some dimension of global justice and preferably also include a local-global dimension. Specifically, special consideration will be given to works whose stories are related to environmental justice and the impacts of climate change. We will also prioritize stories of gender justice, including those that highlight the inequalities faced by women on the planet. We will also prioritize stories of social justice, especially those that address issues of migration and refuge and the causes that generate them. Likewise, we will take into account works that address issues of economic justice, including those that reflect the injustices and inequalities that arise from economic relations between countries of the North and South, from labor migration itself, the exploitation of natural resources or that reflect how economic inequalities contribute to social injustice in urban contexts. Likewise, work that addresses peacebuilding, armed conflicts that contextualize their causes and effects, and in general that is oriented toward the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 agenda, as well as toward understanding the global development model and the relationships of interdependence between actors and countries and the approach to the causes of inequalities, will be favorably valued.
