First Place Winner: The Magic of Microfinance

This year, the standard of entries was once again amazing—from professional photographers and non-professionals alike—and many of the finalists came from South Asia and India in particular, where there seems to be a thriving culture of photography, as well as widespread awareness of microfinance. While entries came from every region of the world, we want to make sure that next year’s Contest really attracts the best photographs of microfinance, since that’s what it’s all about. So help us to get the word out: the 2010 CGAP Microfinance Photography Contest will open for entries later in May, and this year we’ll not only have the first, second, and third prize winners, we’ll also be selecting a winner from every region.  Watch this space.
