Call for Submissions: Chachipe Youth Photography Contest
October 30, 2008

The Open Society Institute and OSA Archivum announce Chachipe Youth, an international photography contest for young people between the ages of 12 and 25. The contest is a sequel to the successful Chachipe contest held in 2007. (Chachipe means "truth, reality or right" in Romanes.)

Chachipe Youth invites young people to use photography to present how they see Roma and their lives. The contest has three categories: “My Street, My Neighborhood,” "My Colorful Life," and "What Is Wrong?" An international jury will award a prize of €1,000 to the winners in three age groups—12 to 15, 16 to 19, and 20 to 25—within each of these categories.

Photos submitted for the contest must have been taken since the beginning of 2005 in one or more of the countries participating in the Decade of Roma Inclusion: Albania, Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, and Spain

Submission & Deadline

Chachipe Youth is an online photo contest. Digital photos can be submitted through the Chachipe Youth website from October 30 through December 15, 2008. The announcement of contest results is expected in January 2009.

Exhibition

A selection of the best photos submitted to the contest will be displayed in an exhibition hosted by Centralis Galeria in Budapest in early 2009. OSI and OSA Archivum also plan to exhibit this selection of photographs in other Decade countries during 2009.

Further Details

Detailed contest conditions are available—in English, Romanes, and the national languages of the Decade of Roma Inclusion member countries—on the Chachipe Youth website at http://photo.romadecade.org.
