interested parties (professional photographers,
students, amateurs).
2. TOPIC. Photographs must contain some
element characteristic of the indigenous peoples of
the Americas (objects, people, places, arts and

essence, the competition seeks to focus the

the deadline to received photos.

identify his or her work with a TITLE. "Untitled"
photos will not be accepted, as they are unsuitable
for archiving and cataloging purposes. Each photo
must be accompanied by a description or written text
no more than one paragraph of 100 words, conveying
concise information about the photo's subject and
its context (e.g., country, province or region, city
or village, name of the community or person,
features of the work, etc).

must be of a excellent resolution, with at least 300
DPI, which is suitable for viewing on a monitor
