We are certainly much more than that. We have to take ownership of our own narratives, tell our own stories, and do so without fear, without imposed rules,&quot; states the call for entries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking south and from the south. This is the aim of this edition of the competition, which will be run by the Advisory Board made up of Gael Almeida, Angela Berlinde, Ma\u00edra Gamarra, Manuel Ortiz, Yinna Higuera, Gisela Vol\u00e1, Tiago Santa and Pablo Corral Vega, director of POY Latam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the changes in decision-making, the competition will remain free of charge and judging will remain transparent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, two sections will be created, one for classic photojournalism and another more open category with the aim of welcoming new trends. Each of the sections will have two different juries, but the second and third prizes will be eliminated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>POY Latam will also move forward with the goal of establishing itself as a non-profit foundation so that, in addition to organizing the contest, it builds a permanent educational agenda and a continuous presence on networks with an agenda of equality and defense of human rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The jury will accept works from April 1 to 30 and judging will take place from May 25 to 28. There are 17 categories in both classical photography and the open category, whose rules can be reviewed at: <a href=\"https:\/\/poylatam.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/poylatam.org\/<\/a>, contemplate a very wide range of jobs that can enter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>You may be interested in: <a href=\"https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/en\/represent-art\/\">Casa C\u00edrculo Cultural celebrated local talent with \u201cRepresent-Art\u201d<\/a><\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>El concurso latinoamericano de fotograf\u00eda m\u00e1s importante de la regi\u00f3n, POY LATAM, abri\u00f3 su convocatoria para su s\u00e9ptima edici\u00f3n con el objetivo de que, a trav\u00e9s de la fotograf\u00eda, los latinoamericanos se apropien de sus propias narrativas. \u00abDebemos luchar contra los intentos simplistas de la prensa de los pa\u00edses desarrollados por encasillar a Latinoam\u00e9rica dentro [&hellip;]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":16925,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14,11],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-16270","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cover","8":"category-culture"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16270","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16270"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16270\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16933,"href":"https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16270\/revisions\/16933"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16925"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16270"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16270"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16270"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
