Competition: Since its inception in 2011, the Tim Hetherington Grant has been giving photographers a chance to tell their stories based on a human rights issue. The grant celebrates the legacy of Tim Hetherington, a photojournalist and filmmaker who was killed in the 2011 Libyan war. This year, once again, the World Press Photo and Human Rights Watch are inviting documentary photographers, photojournalists and multimedia producers to apply for the grant.

Prizes: The recipient of the grant will receive 20,000 euros (approx. Rs. 15,50,490).
