Until November 4, 2012, the Latin American Center of Photography will be accepting applications for the first Latin American Photography Award. Led by the journalist and Magnum member René Burri, the jury will award the prize winners with $5000 of photographic equipment. The winning photographers will also see their works exhibited at the Centro Cultural Borges in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and at other venues in Brazil, Spain, Peru, Mexico and Venezuela.
Photographs in one of eleven categories will be accepted, from the environment and popular culture, to science, sports, education and portrait. The contest is open to photographers of all levels, born in Latin America (regardless of where they live now) or foreign photographers currently residing in Latin America.
Photographers interested in signing up for the contest are encouraged to visit the Latin American Center of Photography’s website (click the drop-down menu for English).
