Description
The People & Planet International Photography Competition aims to select 53 photos to be published in the 2013 People & Planet: Social Justice & Environment Diary and Calendar.
The organizers are looking for 53 extraordinary images of people, places or objects which tell a story about a social-justice or environment issue. Photos of almost any genre will be accepted, including portraits, landscapes, animals, objects, or any combination of these. Photos which tell “good news” stories about social-justice or the environment are particularly welcome.
Eligibility
The competition is open to amateur and professional photographers anywhere in the world. People living in the developing/majority world are particularly encouraged to enter.
Entries are only eligible if they include
a) a title for each photo,
b) 3-5 sentences describing each photo and the social-justice or environment issue(s) which are raised by the photo,
c) the place the photo was taken,
d) the entrant’s name, country & postal address.
Application
You can submit up to 4 photos per entrant. All submitted photos must be accompanied by 3-5 sentences describing the image and the social-justice or environment issues which are raised by the photo. Photos will be assessed jointly with the accompanying description.
