2013平遥摄影节亚历克夏基金获奖作品展

    前言：

    亚历克夏基金会提倡运用新闻摄影的力量，揭露社会不公，尊重历史，铭记历史，让我们认识到文化差异并不是我们的劣势,而是优势。

    亚历克夏基金会通过助学金，奖学金和一些特殊资助项目，鼓励摄影师突破创新。每年，该基金会可为美国雪城大学专业摄影师提供15,000美元的赞助，在校生可享受学生学费减免，这也使得师生竞相角逐。世界各地的学生和专业摄影师都可参与其中。

    曾几何时，许多媒体资源一度锐减，但亚历克夏基金会仍然坚定不移的支持院校和专业新闻摄影。我们坚信，没有什么比这种强大的力量更能拉近我们与世界的距离了。

    The Alexia Foundation promotes the power of photojournalism to give voice to social injustice, to respect history lest we forget it and to understand cultural difference as our strength – not our weakness.

    Through grants, scholarships and special projects, The Alexia Foundation supports photographers as agents for change. Each year the Foundation conducts a competition for student and professional photographers at Syracuse University. The professional grant is for $15,000 and the student receives a tuition paid semester at the Syracuse University campus in London. The competition is open to student and professional photographers throughout the world.

    At a time when many other resources have dwindled, The Alexia Foundation remains unwavering in its commitment to support photojournalism on academic and professional levels. We strongly believe that there is no stronger force in bringing us closer to the world we inhabit.
