Médicos del Mundo presents the Luis Valtueña International Humanitarian Photography Award, now in its 26th consecutive year, recognizing and disseminating the best images that singularly demonstrate social inequities, injustices, and/or human rights abuses, or the situations that either foster or fight them.

The submitted images must narrate a story related to one of these topics: health, natural disasters, humanitarian action, international cooperation, social exclusion, violation of human rights, armed conflicts, vulnerable groups, refugee and/or migrant populations

Special attention will be paid to those stories of interest that are not covered or disseminated enough or are little known, to contribute to their dissemination and reflection. At least 50% of the images must have been taken between 2021 and 2022.

There is no entry fee.

Eligibility

Open worldwide to 18 years or older amateur and professional photographers.

Prize

The winner of the prize will receive a gross amount of 6,000 Euro (approx. 5,960 USD). In addition, the winner and the finalists will also have their work published in the catalog and displayed in the collective and itinerant exhibition that Médicos del Mundo Spain shall produce. The organization will cover the travel and lodging for two consecutive nights of the chosen entrants to attend the award ceremony and inauguration of the exhibition, scheduled for March 2023.
