| |
Friends of the Earth International today announces the
launch of its second annual photo competition, which will gather photos
on the theme of food & agriculture from around the globe.
The best shots will feature in a Friends of the Earth International 2008
wall calendar and in a cookbook.
We are looking for imaginative, striking photos related to food and
agriculture around the world in the following categories:
1) people
2) nature’s bounty
3) markets
4) cooking and eating
The judges for this year's competition include:
1) Yann Arthus-Bertrand, world renowned aerial photographer of the
planet's ecosystems [1]
2) Bangladeshi photographer G.M.B. Akash, first-place winner of last
year’s Friends of the Earth International photo competition and cover
photographer of the 2007 calendar [2]
3) Peter Menzel, US photojournalist and author of “Hungry Planet: What
The World Eats" [3].
Our global photo competition is free of charge, and both professional
and amateur photographers are invited to submit photos. We particularly
encourage young people, women and people living in the developing world
to take part.
The deadline for entries is 15 June 2007.
