Doctors of the World Spain is now accepting entries for the 29th annual Luis Valtueña International Award, a globally recognized platform for humanitarian and documentary photography. This competition seeks to highlight extraordinary photographic works that address critical social issues, including inequality, displacement, conflict, and the violation of fundamental human rights. The award provides photographers with the opportunity to showcase their work while contributing to a greater understanding of the world’s most urgent challenges.
Established in memory of Luis Valtueña—an accomplished photographer and aid worker who, along with three colleagues, was tragically killed during humanitarian missions in Rwanda (1997) and Bosnia (1995)—the award pays tribute to their lives, dedication, and unyielding sense of solidarity. It reflects the core values that define both the organization and the competition: a deep commitment to justice, human dignity, and the transformative power of bearing witness through photography.
