Chachipe Map Photography Competition

October 27, 2011 /Photography News/ The Open Society Foundations and OSA Archivum announce the Chachipe Map photography contest. Chachipe means “truth” or “reality” in Romanes, and it can also mean “right.”

The most important goal of the contest is to give photographers - both amateurs and professionals - an opportunity to show how they see Roma in the communities where they live. Chachipe Map seeks nonstereotypical photographs that are free of prejudices, that show Roma and non-Roma living together, that approach topics in an open manner and that might even employ radically new perspectives.
