The Masterclass was open to 15 professional photographers with a nationality and residency from one of the following countries within Southeastern Europe: Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania or Serbia.

In order to complete the assignment, they received a grant. The results of this assignment were presented to and discussed with the other participants and tutors in a final three-day seminar in Berlin, Germany.
Coinciding with the final seminar in Berlin, ten photo editors from Southeastern European media were invited to a five-day workshop on visual literacy.
'SEE New Perspectives' Masterclass for professional photographers from Southeastern Europe was organized by World Press Photo Foundation in partnership with the Robert Bosch Stiftung.
