Romano Cagnoni Award 2022 CALL FOR ENTRIES!
Starting 15 June 2021, the second edition of the Romano Cagnoni Award, an international photojournalism prize, is soliciting applications from photographers from all over the world. Promoted by the Romano Cagnoni Foundation, in collaboration with Photolux Festival and the support of LensCulture, the Award was born in 2019, in memory of the great photojournalist Romano Cagnoni (1935-2018), The Foundation’s aims are: to support photographers who investigate, with depth and participation, topics related to human condition, social and environmental change, humanitarian crises and the violation of human rights in the world.
After the first edition of 2019, which awarded Gianluca Panella as the winner, the Award will be presented in a renewed guise, starting with the name RCA - Romano Cagnoni Award to underline the international matrix of the initiative, to specifically welcome applications from all over the world. "Romano was a photojournalist who worked internationally, collaborating and publishing in newspapers which have made photojournalism history, such as LIFE Magazine, Sunday Times, The New York Times and many others - declares Patricia Franceschetti Cagnoni, President of the Romano Foundation Cagnoni - the idea that this award bears his name means continuing to remember the values underlying his research and to pass them on to younger generations. At the same time it is an important signal to support photojournalism, in this time of crisis and change.
The fundamental collaboration of the Foundation with the Photolux Festival - International Biennial of Photography, co-directed by Enrico Stefanelli, Chiara Ruberti, Rica Cerbarano and Francesco Colombelli, is confirmed and a new partnership is established with LensCulture, one of the main online platforms dedicated to contemporary photography.

Daria Bonera, founder of DB Agency and visual editor of CESURA
