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.
