Capture Humanity: Enter the 28th Luis Valtueña International Humanitarian Photography Award

Are you a photographer with a passion for telling stories through your lens? Do you have a vision for highlighting social injustices, human rights violations, and the resilience of marginalized communities? Médicos del Mundo Spain invites you to participate in the 28th Luis Valtueña International Humanitarian Photography Award—an opportunity to share your powerful images with the world.

Participation is open to photographers -professional or otherwise- as well as to groups of two or more members, of any nationality, over 18 years of age and with a documentary and/or photojournalistic approach

About the Award

This prestigious award pays tribute to photographer and aid worker Luis Valtueña and his colleagues, who tragically lost their lives in humanitarian missions in Rwanda and Bosnia during the 1990s. The award honors their legacy by promoting the human values they stood for, through photography that captures the essence of humanitarian action and global inequalities.

Key Themes

Submitted photographs should narrate stories related to:

Health and well-being
Humanitarian action and international cooperation
Social exclusion and vulnerable groups
Violation of human rights
Armed conflicts and displacement
Refugee and migrant populations
If your work shines a light on any of these critical global issues, this is your chance to make a difference.

Winning and finalist works will be featured in a collective and itinerant exhibition produced by Médicos del Mundo Spain.
The winning photographer and finalists will also be published in an official award catalog.
