The Venice International Photo Contest
Once again we want to thank every single person that, by trusting our project and
joining our competition made our dream come true for the third year. 2007 was a big
technologic challenge: running the classical ‘old school’ competition on a new tailored
software framework and betting on an electronic submission environment ended up
not only in a precise and bullet proof management system but led to a tremendous
increase of entries received, also thansk to the sensible decrease of entrance complexity and cost to the users. Both entries and entrants increased about 150% compared
to 2006: photographers from 84 countries joined VIPC!
We are happy to state that our mission of exhibiting and publishing professional and
young photo artists has been successfully accomplished again, we promise to continue with what has already been gained and move forward, working as hard as
ever, because an independent and innovative photographic competition is what we
are and how we want to remain.
Year 2007’s important milestones:
• “Best of VIPC 05/06” hosted by “Buenos Aires Club”, Buenos Aires (24 Sep);
• “Poverty and Health” exhibition for the Technical Consultation of WHO, World Health Organization - Regional Office For Europe, Palazzo Franchetti, Venice (29 Nov - 1 Dec);
• “Best of VIPC 05/06 Slideshow” at the BBCC Expo in Venice (29 Nov - 1 Dec);

The World Health Organization: extreme poverty as the world's
greatest cause of illness and suffering across the globe.
Poverty is the greatest challenge to human development manifestations and causes exclusion, low quality food
supply, unsafe working condition environments, health services vulnerable to risks to health. People suffering
from illness susceptible to poverty die sooner and become sick more often than those in more privileged positions.
This photo collection and photos that preceded it, images portraying misery and exclusion, reflect the features and
assets that enable people to survive and overcome adverse socioeconomic conditions.
These pictures intend to return the true value of what has been unknowingly overshadowed and underestimated
by numbers and words: inner strength, resourcefulness and selflessness.
These photos reveal a world of energies, colours and humanity that goes beyond what words and numbers can
importantly only partially express.
