13th edition of the ICRC Humanitarian Golden Visa Award
The Humanitarian Golden Visa, created in 2011, is an award given once a year by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to a professional photojournalist who has covered a humanitarian issue related to an armed conflict or other situations of violence.
The 8,000 euro prize has two purposes: to recognize the work of a photojournalist who covers an armed conflict or other situation of violence and to promote the basic principles of international humanitarian law. The official delivery to Federico Ríos Escobar will be on September 6 in Perpignan, during the 35th edition of Visa pour l’Image, a prestigious international photojournalism festival, and his work will remain on display from September 2 to 17.
