The jury deliberates

This year the jury will be chaired by an outstanding figure in photojournalism: the Franco-Iranian Manoocher Deghati has covered more than 40 wars or revolutions and has travelled to more than 100 countries. Since 1978 he has been photographing current affairs, conflicts and social unrest around the world, starting with the Iranian revolution and the war between Iran and Iraq that followed. After being exiled from his native country in 1985 he worked for several major agencies (Black Star, Sipa, Keystone, AFP) and international magazines including Time, Life, Newsweek, Paris Match, GEO and National Geographic Magazine.
