Author Background: Being a 22 years old communications student at first I started in photography as a hobby, but with time I realized that I could tell more with my pictures, not only by showing the beauty that surrounds me but also by telling stories of the people and the places that I found, pictures that can resonate with others and let them identify themselves with the moments I'm capturing. I'm still on my journey as a photographer, trying to show the world the way I see it.

Girls screaming in 8M march in Bogotá, Colombia: Revindicating women's rights

Submission Statement: One of the most exciting and revealing moments of my life was when I attended for the first time an 8M march. I went angry and tired with the harsh reality, how every day girls and women get kidnapped, missing or raped, and there I realize how strong we are together, how many voices are out there fighting and screaming for a change, trusting and working towards building a better future.

Comments from the Judges:

Karen Dias: “This photograph gives me a sense of being amidst the action of the protest. The body language, the faces, the colors; all add to the sense of strength and resilience.”

Katie Jett Walls: “Strong and symbolic color instantly places this photo into its time and place, powerful emotion present in subject. Strong composition as well.”
