2024 ZEKE Award for Systemic Change, in partnership with the Foundation for Systemic Change, offers a $2,500 honorarium to photographers.

We're keen on democracy's preservation, global crises resolutions, including human rights, health, climate, migration, conflict, race, gender, and more. Educate us on pressing issues and the ongoing transformations.
