UNESCO's Youth Photo Contest "The Changing Face of the Earth"
Application deadline: 31 January 2008
UNESCO's International Geoscience Programme (IGCP) launched a photo
contest on 1 September on the theme of The Changing Face of the Earth, to
raise awareness among youth of the state of the planet. The competition
is open to 15-20 year-olds around the world and there are 40 prizes to be
won.
Each contestant is invited to submit a single colour photo depicting her
or his personal testimony of the Earth's rapidly changing landscape in a
positive or negative way. The photo should illustrate one of the ten
themes from the International Year of Planet Earth. Photos may portray
rural or urban scenes and should depict changes to the landscape caused
by natural phenomena or resulting from human intervention.
Each of the winning contestants will receive a copy of two UNESCO books:
Explaining the Earth and The Changing Face of the Earth. The names of the
40 winning contestants will be announced in the April 2008 issue of A
World of Science and on UNESCO's science portal.
