The photographs will be evaluated by a committee comprising officials from the embassies of member countries, travel agents and travel journalists. Winners will be directly contacted through e-mail in the last week of November. The winning photographs will be exhibited in New Delhi and winners of the first, second and third prizes will be awarded accordingly.

The previous editions of this contest received a very warm and enthusiastic reception from the Indian public. The collection of diversity and beauty captured in more than 100 photographs received in the last two years, not only demonstrates the growing interest of Indian tourists in the region, but also a passion for Latin America and the Caribbean that is being transmitted through their mesmerising digital
images, which have become attractive postcards of the natural, cultural and gastronomic riches that Latin America and the Caribbean countries have to offer.
