Near the border between Brazil and Uruguay, in the Pampa biome, some ranches still preserve traditional cattle branding. Created in March 2026, these images reveal a demanding routine shaped by smoke, leather, dust, physical endurance, and a tradition rooted in the region’s cattle culture.

Honorable Mention

For centuries, the horse has remained a symbol of strength and loyalty beside those who crossed fields, borders, and battles.
Bound only by a fragile line, the image invites reflection on what still makes it wait.

“The Dice Game” is a visual metaphor for the uncertainty that shapes the future of children. Between lines of skin in formation and cubes cast by chance, the photograph asks: how much of destiny is choice, and how much is play?
