Nominations are now open for “Photography 4 Humanity” which is an international initiative that calls on photographers around the world to bring to life the power of human rights through their images.
Their esteemed jury is looking for compelling, dynamic and impactful images that tell the story of the challenges facing those people living in human rights crisis zones as well as photos of hope that depict the heroes working to deliver solutions to the difficult realities in their regions.
