The photo contest will be the second annual of the UNDP-branded Picture This photo contest. The 2009, Africa-centred Picture This: Caring for the Earth competition resulted in an international traveling exhibit (New York, Tokyo, Osaka, Johannesburg, St Louis (Senegal) and Geneva) and extensive media coverage for the contest itself, its winners and participants, and the issue of climate change and environmental degradation in Africa.
Through the photo contest this year, UNDP hopes to bring much needed attention to the quickly approaching deadline for achieving the MDGs (Millennium Development Goals) in order to motivate people and governments in developed and developing countries to redouble their efforts in the fight against extreme poverty. At a time when the world’s attention will be focused on these issues, the winning photos will put a human face on the MDGs.
Contestants must enter either as professionals or amateurs, not both.
The 2010 contest will include a People’s Choice Award where the public will vote for their favourite photo online through this website. Click here to vote.
The winning photos will be exhibited during the UN MDG Summit and UN General Assembly in September, 2010 in New York, when world leaders will meet to recommit and redouble their efforts in the fight against extreme poverty.
