Médicos del Mundo presents the Luis Valtueña International Humanitarian Photography Award, now in its 25th 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: 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.
There is no entry fee.
Eligibility
Open worldwide to 18 years or older amateur and professional photographers.

The winner of the prize will receive a gross amount of 6,000 Euro (approx. 7,055 USD), plus a professional camera model Leica Q2 worth a total of 5,120 Euro and a set of 10 photobooks published by La Fábrica. In addition, winning and shortlisted series will be included in the catalogue and in the collective and itinerant exhibition that Médicos del Mundo Spain shall produce or host.
