With a multitude of approaches ranging from real life reportage, photojournalism to amateur or artistic documentation: We want to discover and celebrate photographers believing in the photography of ideas.
We are looking for visual artists aiming to engage and take position, unique voices willing to share their stories with conviction and awareness. All approaches are valid:
