contest jury: “.The narrative is based on strong images that convey the magnitude of the subject.” It will be an achievement if with this work we make known what happened and is happening today. Congratulations to all the winners!!!

“The jury was impressed by the photographer’s thorough presentation of the research and evidence. The comprehensive treatment of the data embodies indisputable and concrete factual journalism and a public service similar to the registry crime forensics.”
