The Lucas Dolega Award will recognize a photographer who often works in dangerous or difficult circumstances demonstrating dedication to democracy and freedom of information.

Applicants must submit 10-20 images with a report explaining how a particular conflict, revolution or natural disaster had an impact on the civilian population.

Along with the Nikon-sponsored cash prize, the winner will have their work displayed at an exhibition in Paris and published in a Reporters Without Borders album. Polka Magazine will also feature the winner’s reportage.

Applicants can submit several photo series but they must have been completed in 2011.

The deadline is November 10.
