As a prelude to International Press Day (May 3, 2021) a competition is launched, open to photo-journalists and photo-reporters working in Haiti. This initiative is part of a project to promote the work of the press organized by the French communication agency Wellcom and supported by the European Union as part of its Human Rights programs, with the support of the Haitian photojournalist association K2D Kolektif 2 Dimansyon.

The competition is open to any professional photographer who can attest to at least 2 years of proven experience. Candidates can propose their work according to several themes.

Under the main theme of Human Rights, submissions must fall under one of the following three themes:

A photograph that documents and translates a vision, a point of view, and / or an achievement carried by one or more women, in front of or behind the lens.

Theme 3 : Portraits of the news (or news from life) :
A portrait that should arouse emotion and tell a complex story linked to current events. Photographs that capture the image of a person or a small group of people and in which face and expression are predominant and document a hot topic or its consequences.
