The list of winners, selected through popular vote on the IBGE web portal, is available here and the photos here. The winners will be rewarded with R$5,000.00 (national phase) and R$1,000.00 (state phase).

Winner in the "Urban scenes" category

The prize was launched by the IBGE in December last year as a way to recognize the work of the enumerators and treasure the "glances" of these professionals on the places they covered during the data collection. According to the rules of the contest, the photos should portray "several Brazils inside Brazil". Based on this proposal, 2,086 enumerators enrolled 11,525 photos in the contest application. The photographs were organized into three categories: agricultural activity, urban scenes and rural scenes.
