Original – A young Wodaabe maiden judges male contestants in a Gerewol festival, a competitive courtship ritual that takes place annually in Wodaabe communities in Niger.
Reason
This is a beautiful photograph, which meets technical criteria and is a valuable document of a cultural practice, highlighting the often ignored female role in the ritual (most photographs focus on the male contestants and not the judging maidens)
