Photography and Labor: is an artistic and cultural project that rewards the best postcards related to the theme of labor, in this second edition named, “Autumn, second spring, in honor of the elderly. Inspired by Albert Camus’ quote “Autumn is a second spring in which every leaf is a flower”.
A partir del 1 de mayo de 2023, Día del Trabajador, se abrirá la convocatoria del concurso, que este año colocará el foco en la visión del trabajo realizado por las personas mayores, aquellos maestros y maestras que van pasando su legado a las nuevas generaciones, el oficio en manos expertas, la pasión volcada en la acción cotidiana, el coraje de quien se atreve a desafiar los códigos de una sociedad que tiende a invisibilizar a los mayores. En alianza con HelpAge Internacional, Ashoka, Catalyst 2030, Circuito Unión Radio y la ONG Medicina Familiar.
«We want labor to become a trend, because it is what dignifies each person, helps you discover what you are good at, connects you to your life purpose and collaborates in building a better society».
El Concurso
The contest has two categories: young people, between 18 and 29 years of age; and masters, 30 years of age and older, with cash prizes and printing of the best images.
The deadline for entries is May 29, the Day of the Elderly in Venezuela, and there is also a jury that will give its verdict on June 23.
The 2023 edition of Photography and Labor celebrates five years of the Caregivers 360 program, and makes visible the new longevity as a new approach and conceptual framework that recognizes the elderly as integral human beings who learn, have welfare, economic security and self-definition throughout their lives, knowing that they can constantly contribute to the development of societies.

Third place in the master category went to Darwin Cañas (Distrito Capital); second place to Michael Jesús Mata (Miranda), and first place to Michell Arrieta for a photo taken in the middle of Fuerzas Armadas Avenue in Caracas, a true feast with the colors of sweet and hot peppers, where the seller seeks some aesthetics and order in the chaos, “highlighting the beauty in the everyday”.
The image of Verónica Altuve (Mérida) was the best voted in social media with her work “Reflejo de vida”, a photo of a bee in the foreground tasting a drop of honey around the preparation of some paledonias by the mother.
