Overcoming COVID in 2020 has become a challenge for billions of people all across the globe regardless of their occupation or social status. The pandemic has affected all areas of our lives, becoming a series of trials and tribulations for many professionals, including photographers.

Far behind hospital front lines and on deserted city streets, photojournalists have been striving to capture the most vital moments of the global fight against coronavirus. Their work is as essential as that of other professionals, who have to battle a pandemic of this magnitude. Thanks to their images, they have frozen in time how our lives have dramatically changed over a short period.

Not only does this contest seek to preserve such a unique moment in world history, but it is devoted to those who witnessed these unparalleled, poignant, and at times heartbreaking episodes impacting people’s lives.

Winners will be announced on March 11, 2021 – the anniversary of the announcement of the coronavirus pandemic by the World Health Organization.

Scott Mc Kiernan Presents zReportage.com Story of the Week #763: Launched TUESDAY November 24, 2020: ‘Behind MY Mask’ from ZUMA Press award winning photojournalist KATHARINE KIMBALL, who interviewed, Oregonians about mask wearing during COVID-19. Health officials say it would change American lives for the better, if it became a cultural norm in the U.S. for people to wear masks when they’re under the weather or in crowded areas. In Japan or South Korea, locals might get dirty looks if they hop on a subway with a sniffle and no mask. Thru out America rallies protesting masks, as a violation of their personal freedom. Meanwhile for others it is the new normal, as they have gotten used to wearing them in public. Like the seat belt a generation ago. Public health experts believe that American culture could fundamentally shift to embrace this new hygiene practices. What do the you think? Welcome to: ‘Behind MY Mask’

The entire land of India has been filled up with ounces of agitations since the proposal of Citizenships Amendment Act by Prime Minister Modi’s administration in November last year, as people at different ages with different religions joined in enormous numbers in both peaceful and violent demonstrations to protest against the Act, as well as the National Register of Citizens, which is an official record used to differentiate legal immigrants and to deport them from India.

The Act has been accused of depriving fundamental rights and freedom of religion among existing muslims in India, whereas muslims who encounter religious suppression in neighborhoods will simultaneously be excluded from the eligibility of seeking for amnesty and applying for citizenships, which has become a major factor that forms a great, intact and acute unity along with consistency among the people in India to call for withdrawal of both the CAA and NRC implementations.

This series of photographs taken between 28 Jan and 12 Feb, 2020 captured various moments of how Indian nationals in Mumbai and Delhi, including minors, youngsters and the elderly contributed efforts to the nationwide, ongoing social movement, even though they have been threatened by forceful actions taken by the authority for dispersion toward many congregations, assemblies, marches and sit-ins as well.

Since the commencement of the movement, demonstrators and supporters have started using the national flag of India, portraits of two social activists, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi and Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar as the quintessential, spiritual significations.
