    For more than twenty years, the Association Nationale des Iconographes (ANI) has been organized portfolio readings during the professional week of the Visa pour l’Image - International Festival of Photojournalism - Perpignan, seeing over 350 photographers from a wide range of backgrounds, providing guidance and advice.
    Before the end of the year, the ANI will bring together a jury to choose three winners from among its "coups de cœur", and for the fourteen consecutive year, one of the winners will receive an ANI prize, endowed with €6,000 per PixTrakk.

    By supporting the action of ANI at Visa, and by endowing the ANI-PixTrakk award, PixTrakk Images thus marks its support to the remarkable action of ANI iconographers, as well as to all photographers in the defense of their copyrights.

    « Jaywick Sands Happy Club »


    Jaywick, Essex,is a village with an infamous reputation as ‘Britain’s most deprived area’.
    Most ‘Jaywikians’ refute this description and are fed up with the negative and
    damaging portrayal of their town. JaywickSands Happy Club aims to reframe the narrative of the village by providinga view of the community that is led by those the images represent.
