Please help us pass along this terrific opportunity for photographers.

In our second year of Call for Submissions, following in the footsteps of our very successful first season which astonishingly garnered nearly 200 entries from some 45 countries worldwide, we are very pleased to once again be able to call for entries for a grant in the field of photo reportage/photojournalism. Last year our Call for Submissions and culminated in our $5000 USD grant being awarded to Mr. Mads Nissen of Denmark. The Manuel Rivera-Ortiz Foundation for International Photography is once again seeking entries for outstanding work in global and social documentary photo reportage. Covering such pressing issues as health, poverty, oppression, war, famine, religious/political persecution and upheaval, human migration and immigration, the landless and much more, photographers of all nationalities who are 18 years of age or older are encouraged to apply. Entries must be submitted no later than May 31, 2012, to be eligible. Please visit http://www.mrofoundation.org for entry rules and submission details found under our "Grant 2012" header on our website. The photographer whose proposal is selected to receive the $5000 USD grant will be immediately contacted, followed by a public press announcement to be made sometime in late July. Send your submission to submissions@mrofoundation.org. We look forward to receiving your work.

Thank you so much in advance.
