ANDY ROCCHELLI GRANT 2021
Category:
Eligibility:
The Andy Rocchelli Grant is an international award promoted by CESURA in the name of its cofounder Andy Rocchelli, photojournalist killed in Ukraine in 2014. Andy was an irreplaceable firestarter, and to make sure that his values as a photographer and as a man can continue to burn, we have decided to establish a grant in his name.
The aim is to identify the best unpublished photographic dummy and award the winner with the production and publication of the book by Cesura Publish, in full freedom of expression, as Andy would have wanted.
The jury will meet in September 2021 to select a short list of finalists. In December 2021, the winning book will be announced.
The first edition of the grant is a project promoted and supported by Direzione Generale Creatività Contemporanea del Ministero per i beni e le attività culturali e per il turismo.

IN MEMORY OF ANDY
Andy Rocchelli was an Italian photojournalist, member and founder of Cesura.
He worked as a photojournalist for eight years, documenting Eastern Europe, the Arab Spring in Libya and Tunisia, human rights violations in Kyrgyzstan and Ingushetia, in Italy he worked on the phenomenon of velinism and the relationship between migrants and organized crime. At the time of his death, near the city of Sloviansk in Ukraine on May 24, 2014, he was documenting the conditions of civilians trapped in the Donbass conflict. Russian Interiors, his photography book, was published posthumously by Cesura Publish.
Andy was an example of integrity and fairness: in his work he was driven by great passion and constant determination, he lived it in a physical and intuitive way. His values are still one of the pillars of our group today. He had the ability to see great potential in the small things, and to make more with less.
Printed editorial production was a fundamental step in his research, as a means of disseminating and completing his work.
Andy was an irreplaceable fire-starter and to make sure that his values as a photographer and as a man can continue to burn, we at Cesura Group wanted to establish a Grant in his name. The aim is to give space to a new editorial project and to allow an author or a new talent to create a photographic book in full freedom of expression, as Andy would have wanted.
Prizes Details:
The best project selected will be published in the form of a photographic book by Cesura Publish, to which 90% of the profits from the sales of the book will go. The author is entitled to 15 free copies and a 10% royalty.
