Photojournalism 2024 

 

Dear Journalists and Information Photographers,

We are excited to invite you to participate in the Photojournalism Awards 2024, a pioneering initiative by Agora: The Worldwide Awards. This call to action celebrates and honors the power of photojournalism, inviting you to share photographs that tell significant and current stories through visual language. We aim to capture the essence of photojournalism in its purest form.

In a world where information flows incessantly, the ability to tell stories that resonate and reveal truths through images is more crucial than ever. Therefore, we call on journalists and photographers from around the globe to upload photos that not only capture but also narrate the stories unfolding in various corners of the planet.

It is imperative that each submitted image is accompanied by a detailed text including a title, the location, the moment of the event, and a deep description of what is being witnessed. This text is vital for evaluating each work, allowing us to understand the image in its full context and fully appreciate the story being told.

We want to emphasize that the use of artificial intelligence is not permitted in these awards. Our goal is to celebrate and promote pure citizen journalism, encouraging the creation and participation of authentic, high-quality images about current events, captured by individuals from all over the world. We seek real stories, seen through the eyes of those who live and document the events that shape our era.

The Photojournalism Awards 2024 are a platform for voices from all corners of the globe to be heard, offering a window into the realities faced by communities, cultures, and countries. Through this event, Agora: The Worldwide Awards aims to empower people worldwide, giving power to the people and the stories that deserve to be told.

Power to the people worldwide:

We encourage you to be part of this global movement, to share your unique perspectives, and to contribute to the global narrative with your impactful images and the stories they tell. We look forward to your submissions and wish you success in your continued quest for truth and beauty in photojournalism.

With anticipation and respect,

Octavi Royo
CEO, Agora: The Worldwide Awards

    What are the rules of participation
    Requirements that the participating creation must meet:

    • Be an original creation of the author submitting it or the person submitting it owns the rights of the work.
    • That fits the theme of the award.
    • That has quality.

    Can I participate several times in an Award?
    Yes, you can participate as many times as you want. However, you will have to use credits to upload more than one creation or wait until the indicated time when the first participation process is over to participate again. We have implemented this method to improve the quality of the participating works, it's an effective way to pre-curate content while providing opportunities for everyone.
    How are the finalists chosen
    Agora's curators' team chooses the finalist works from among all the participating creations. To make this selection, we take into account several criteria, such as quality, diversity, originality, beauty, the concept behind the creation, the message it conveys, technique, artistic quality, difficulty, social-political-cultural impact, the context and moment of creation, the global interest it has, the cultural value, the author's work, and other specific elements of each Award.
    How do I know if I'm a finalist?
    If Agora's curator team chooses you among the 25 finalists, you will receive an email from us informing you of this.
    What are the prizes?
    All awards have two prizes: People’s Prize (whose winner is chosen by Agora users from all over the world) and Jury’s Prize (whose winner is selected by a professional jury specialized in the theme of the award). Each award has a specific prize, which you will find in the information about each award.
    How do the People’s Prize voting rounds work?
    Once Agora's curator team selects the 25 finalists, they will show them to the public in 5 rounds of 5 finalists each. Each Agora user has 1 vote to choose their favorite creation in each round. In the last round, the 5 most-voted creations of each round (top 5) are submitted to a popular vote. From this final votation, we get the award's winner.
    What are the credits for?
    The credits are used to participate in the awards with more than one creation without having to wait for the time limitations to be removed. They can be purchased by clicking on the “credits” icon in your profile.
