The World Report Award | Documenting Humanity is a prestigious photography competition that seeks to redefine social engagement through the powerful medium of visual storytelling. The award recognizes the ability of photography to serve as both a form of artistic expression and a tool for social change, encouraging a deeper awareness of the complexities of the human experience.
This competition is open to photographers of all levels, welcoming both seasoned professionals and passionate amateurs from every corner of the world. Through this inclusive approach, the award aims to showcase a diverse range of perspectives, each offering a unique lens into the lives of individuals and communities.
The award prioritizes projects that highlight stories centered on people, culture, and society. These may range from deeply personal and intimate narratives to large-scale global issues, from small but meaningful moments of everyday life to significant historical events that shape humanity. Whether capturing the weight of major human tragedies, the delicate nuances of relationships, or the intersection of environment and society through conservation efforts, the competition seeks to celebrate photography’s role in making the unseen visible. Solution-oriented photojournalism, which proposes and documents tangible steps toward positive change, is also highly encouraged.
Each year, this contest serves as a grand visual mosaic—a collective fresco—that recognizes the best in documentary and photojournalistic storytelling. By highlighting exceptional work from around the world, the award not only provides a stage for photographers to showcase their talent but also reinforces the power of images in creating awareness and driving change.
More than just a competition, the World Report Award | Documenting Humanity provides economic support to photographers who dedicate themselves to capturing pressing social issues. However, its significance extends beyond financial assistance. It fosters a strong and enduring network of photographers, journalists, and visual storytellers who share a commitment to ethical storytelling. Over the past 15 years, this community has grown into a collaborative space where photographers engage in meaningful exchanges, professional development, and ongoing partnerships with the organization.
This prestigious award is organized by the Festival of Ethical Photography, an event founded in 2010 with a mission to spotlight socially relevant content and bring important ethical issues to the forefront. The festival serves as a bridge between the world of professional photography and the general public, encouraging critical discussions on topics of social justice, inequality, and human rights. Photography, as a powerful communication tool, has long played a crucial role in exposing injustices, inspiring action, and connecting people across borders. By fostering dialogue between ethics, visual storytelling, and social engagement, the festival continues to push the boundaries of documentary photography in an innovative and thought-provoking way.
