This is a special year for us, as we are celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Lucas Dolega Award. We hope that we will receive at least as many reports as the past years!

The LUCAS DOLEGA PRIZE is intended to support and accompany freelance professional photographers who work to provide free and independent information. Its essence is to reward a photographer who, through his personal commitment, his involvement in the field, his stances and the quality of his work, will have been able to demonstrate his attachment to freedom of information and democracy.

Each Participant is allowed to submit several photographic reports up to three reportages.

This year again, we will be able to receive reports only by internet.

Prizes:

The award ceremony will take place at the Mairie de Paris, in the spring 2021, depending on the sanitary conditions.
