Finished
Latin American Documentary Contest of Photography
Theme: “The works and the days”
The theme of the photographs should focus on human beings (regardless of age, sex, or race) carrying out some form of work or occupation. Additionally, pictures could show the human presence through objects or materials; buy the jury will decide on the appropriateness of these concepts.

As well as those people that migrates between countries in Latin America.
