HOW THE AWARD IS BORN

The Prize is dedicated to the memory of the photographer Nicola Paccagnella, who died prematurely in February 2020. Umane Tracce, an intense portrait of a factory in the process of being demolished, a silent witness to the humanity that inhabited it, is the finished work he left us. Published last year in a Crowdbooks book and edited in an exhibition, this project was conducted with rigor and sensitivity. The Award is dedicated to the seriousness and humanity, typical of his approach to photography and inspired by the desire to remember him every year. The Prize also responds to the desire to create concrete and excellent opportunities for emerging photographers who have created a well-conceived photographic project.

The winning work will be published in a Crowdbooks book and will be exhibited in an exhibition curated by Paola Riccardi, who will accompany the awards event.

​
