The Award is being shared among five photographers covering stories from around the world. Each winner will receive $10,000 to be used to continue their individual projects on a range of subjects.

Border struggles, a lack of water, poverty, coal mining in the middle of a desert, being a transit point for migrants and smugglers; all give rise to the toughest of living conditions.
