The 3rd Edition of the International Photography Award aims at recognizing and disseminating the work of artists, professionals or amateurs, who inspire a positive social transformation, by addressing in their projects the situation of poverty and social exclusion experienced by millions of human beings in the world.

The purpose of this Award is to recognize the power of the gaze for social transformation. Thus, this Prize values the artistic dimension, beauty and the ability to summon the gaze of the observer. Poverty and beauty: an apparently antagonistic pairing that only the power of Art can fully express.
