About
The monthly photojournalism magazine DAYS JAPAN was Launched in March 2004 in response to the burgeoning demand for quality reporting from the world's many war fronts and conflicts that claim so many lives today. The world -class photographers who contribute to our publication do their work at great peril, many risking their lives for their shots.
Regardless of how the photosare taken, DAYS JAPAN aims to always tell the truth from the perspective of victimized civilians and not those exercising authority through military or other power.
DAYS JAPAN invited photographers and journalists throughout the world to take part in the 12th DAYS JAPAN International Photojournalism Awards in 2016. Many distinguished works were submitted from around the globe, and we would like to thank all those who send in entries.
We will accept entries for the 12th DAYS JAPAN International Photojournalism Awards contest to be held in 2017 from this fall.
