CALL FOR PHOTO SUBMISSIONS: Africa–China Photo Exhibition 2023 (Closed)

SENEGAL WATERS, THE ATLANTIC - JULY 20, 2016: An African fisherman aboard a China Fujian Distant Water Fishing Ship (CFDWFS) looks out at a Chinese reefer ship headed towards Dakar. Fishing is one of the main industries in Senegal. Of the nearly 100,000 people employed in the fishing industry, 90% are artisanal fishers, while the remaining 10% work on foreign distant water fishing ships and jointly operated or Senegal-operated large-scale industrial fishing ships. The working cycle on large-scale industrial fishing ships is long, one voyage often lasting 20 days. During this time, they rely on reefer ships to provide living supplies and to carry caught fish back to port.

The Africa-China Reporting Project (ACRP) at Wits Centre for Journalism is inviting all journalists, media practitioners and photographers to submit images for an Africa-China Photo Exhibition that will collect images from across Africa that best encapsulate applicants’ interpretation of “Africa–China”.

The Project will include selected images in an Africa-China Photo Exhibition and make them publicly available under a Creative Commons license, giving full credit to the image owners at all times. The Project will also select the best three images in the exhibition and give the following awards:

  • First place: US$1,500 grant to write an accompanying story of the image as well as a fully paid trip to the Project’s Africa-China Journalists Forum in Johannesburg, South Africa on 20 - 22 November 2023, to speak further about the image
  • Second place: US$1,500 grant to write the accompanying story of the image
