With the outbreak of the Coronavirus global pandemic, an emphasis on human rights has never seemed so important, and we assume many of the photo submissions will address the human rights implications of COVID-19,” said Photography 4 Humanity Creator David Clark. “Photography 4 Humanity has the ability to highlight courage, hope, injustice, despair, compassion, human rights failures and victories which hopefully will serve to inspire people around the world to get personally involved.” “Through Photography 4 Humanity, we look forward to shining a light on the rights of the most vulnerable,” said Laurent Sauveur, Chief of External Outreach, UN Human Rights. “While the world is facing a pandemic that tests our societies, we believe these images will expose, promote, educate and build awareness of the importance of human rights around the world and inspire people to take a stand for human rights.” This esteemed award is unique in the field of human rights and photography, as it is presented annually by Global Partner United Nations Human Rights – the lead agency within the United Nations system to promote and defend human rights – and internationally renowned Presenting Partner Fotografiska New York. The laureates will also be selected by an eminent jury that includes renowned photographers, journalists, photo editors and human rights champions such as Robert Pledge, Elisabeth Biondi, Robert Clark, Kristen Ashburn, David Rose, Amanda Hajjar and Laurent Sauveur. “We are honored to have been selected as the Global Presenter of Photography 4 Humanity in support of UN Human Rights, as our founding principle is to inspire a more conscious world through the art of photography,” said Amanda Hajjar, Director of Exhibitions at Fotografiska. “By helping to provide a platform to share these human rights images with the world, we hope to give voice to those who have none.” All professional and amateur photographers are encouraged to enter the 2020 Photography 4 Humanity Global Prize Competition by visiting Photography4Humanity.com and submitting your images.
