Entitled ‘My Afghanistan’, this award is organized by Agence France-Presse in honour of Shah Marai, who was chief photographer at the AFP Kabul bureau when he was killed in a suicide attack on April 30, 2018, aged just 41. Throughout his career, Shah Marai was an example for Afghan photographers, capturing unique pictures of his country with passion and tenderness.
