This year the FotoEvidence Book Award will again be a collaborative work open to all photographers documenting the consequences of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, from 2014-2024 with a particular focus on the impact on children and families.
Overview
The Russian invasion of Ukraine disrupted family life in Ukraine. The indiscriminate violence perpetrated by Russia killed thousands of civilians, leaving families broken and bereft. Schools were destroyed and schooling was interrupted for children in the conflict zones.
Ukraine's children are paying an extraordinary price. Nearly two-thirds of children have been forced to flee their homes. Some have fled alone, increasing their exposure to abduction, abuse, and exploitation. Children are being robbed of their childhood, of time with friends and family, of education, and of a peaceful life.
Following the iconic book Ukraine: A War Crime, by 93 photojournalists, this year the FotoEvidence Book Award will again be a collaborative work open to all photographers documenting the consequences of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, from 2014-2024 with a particular focus on the impact on children and families.

The FotoEvidence Book Award is open to all photographers 18 years of age or older, professional and amateur photographers with work documenting the impact of war in Ukraine, with a focus on children and families.
