Zahra Kazemi Foundation proudly present
“Ziba” photography award
On February 2004, Stephan Hashemi established the Zahra Kazemi Foundation to honor his mother’s memory. Since its inception, this non-profit has organized multicultural events and photo exhibitions in Canada and abroad. For the fourth anniversary of Ziba Kazemi’s death to keep her life and legacy alive, it announced an international photography award called “Ziba.” This award is to encourage high standards in photojournalism for single images and for picture stories. The winners of the “Ziba” photography award will receive a cash prize at the award ceremony in Montreal.
The ceremony for ZIBA’s photography award will be held on September 23rd, 2009. This is the first day of autumn, the day Ziba–Zahra Kazemi—was born. Information about this award will be announced with greater details in October 2008.
