The Estée Lauder Companies Pink Ribbon Photo Award is the first photographic competition and event dedicated to breast cancer.
For its 14th edition, the competition orientate this year with a deeply human and symbolic theme: “Closer to the Heart”. Photographers are invited to take a subjective look at the disease, by telling a story: the story of Women - or much more rarely, the one of Men - who face this cancer. This has been the the aim of the Estée Lauder Companies Pink Ribbon Photo Award since its beginning in 2012, to encourage the audience for early breast cancer screening.
More than 900,000 people in France face this ordeal, one woman in eight, with an average of more than 60,000 new cases diagnosed every year.
Each image tells an intimate, subjective story about kindness, struggles and hopes “Closer to the Heart”
