Opportunity description
The Center for Iberian Studies (CIS) has launched The Photography without Frontiers Project 2018 which aims to find images that reflect the restructuring that can take place in different areas, capture signals of continuity, change, and innovation in the most crowded metropolitan areas to the most remote border areas. It also documents the diversity of territories, societies and cultures, in addition to showing a multitude of natural, economic, social and cultural landscapes spread over wide geographical areas.
The Transversalidades project uses images as a means to promote regional cooperation by taking advantage of the aesthetic, documental and educational value of the image. It also promotes cooperation between people and institutions within and beyond frontiers endorsing the exchange of experiences and knowledge between places unified by the common Iberian range. Furthermore, it creates new audiences and uses new communication technologies as a privilege to communicate, especially between young college students, and thus widen the international network of researchers that CEI has been sponsoring over the years. Participants must guarantee that the photographs are original and have not yet been published, as well as not contain an identifying sign of its author. The evaluation will be conducted by the jury depending on loyalty to the proposed topics, creativity and photographic quality.
