CALL FOR ENTRIES
DEADLINE

Il Reportage, the quarterly literary, journalism and photography review, in collaboration with Officine Fotografiche Roma, is pleased to announce the second edition of Il Reportage Photojournalism Award 2018, an international documentary photography competition.
The theme of this edition is “Revolutions”.
At a time when the violence and blindness of tyrants try to prevent the realization of democratic processes in society, revolution seems to be the natural and only response possible. But what are the revolutions currently in progress?
Innovation, insurrection, uprising, innovation, progress, rebellion, transformation, chaos, upheaval, disorder, revolt, coup, subversion: these are just some of the possible variations of the word revolution.
With this theme, we invite photographers to submit works that describe revolutions and their consequences: from political to social, scientific to anthropological ones, from stories of struggles and revolutions carried out by individuals to those that move entire communities and countries.
There is NO entry fee
