poylatam 2025

For the past fourteen years, POY Latam has been committed to highlighting and celebrating the work of visual journalists and artists across Ibero-America. We deeply believe in the power of documentary photography and its unwavering commitment to the stories it tells. That is why we have preserved the most relevant categories to address today’s themes and challenges. We believe photography reaches its greatest expressive depth through long-form, meaningful narrative projects. With this in mind, we have restructured the classic categories and created space for new narrative forms that respond to the current and future challenges of our region. Photojournalism has undergone significant changes in recent years. Many visual storytellers now move freely between art and journalism, and the rigid rules of the past have evolved to accept real or digital alterations that are conceptually justified.
