Médicos del Mundo Spain announces the 25th Luis Valtueña Photography competition, aimed at 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.
Luis Valtueña Photography Competition Details
By giving this competition the name of the photographer and international aid worker Luis Valtueña, they pay tribute to his memory and the other three humanitarian aid workers of the association murdered in Rwanda (1997) and Bosnia (1995) out of their duties.
It is also their wish to highlight the human values they represent. If you are interested in participating in this call for entries, please click here for the terms and conditions (also available in English and French).
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, and refugee and/or migrant populations.
