7th edition of the Carmignac Photojournalism Award — Paris, France

As part of the 2016 Visa pour l’Image festival in Perpignan, Fondation Carmignac has announced the 7th edition of the Carmignac Photojournalism Award has been awarded to Mexican photojournalist Narciso Contreras. In his report on Libya, Contreras weaves a compelling narrative to show how, instead of being a place of transit for migrants on their way to Europe, Libya has actually become a trafficking market where people are bought and sold on a daily basis. With this report, Contreras provides us with a glimpse of the complex and horrifying context anonymous migrants face.
