Applications for the FotoEvidence Photo Book Award 2018 with Word Press Photo are still open this Friday, December 15th.

The FotoEvidence Book Award was conceived in 2011 with to promote photographers fighting violation of human rights and degradation of human dignity. This year, the FotoEvidence Book Award was withdrawn from Italian photographer Giovanni Troilo, after he mistakenly gave bad informations on some of his photographs. In 2016, the photographer Daniela Zalcman and her series on the violent assimilation of Indian minorities in Canada won the price (series Signs of your identity, 2016).
