“The winning project highlights the resilience of a small community and grabs our attention to our loss of culture, community, and connection to nature, when the small communities and villages disappear. The project shows the problem and solution in fine beautiful images that make me want to go there and disconnect from our modernized world and fast way of living”.
– Heba Khamis, jury member and visual researcher<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Photography is not merely a tool to document what surrounds us – it\u2019s an invitation to step into the lives of others, to connect with them, and to share a moment of their reality. With the trust and support of ECCA and DMJX, we have the opportunity to embrace this approach through slow and thoughtful journalism. It allows us to spend valuable time in this village: breathing its air, touching its realities, living its moments, before capturing them with our cameras”.
– Florine Schmid and Marie Ruwet, ECCA-DMJX Award winners<\/p>\n\n\n\n
