Demotix Our Changing Environment Photo Contest

Saturday, December 12, 2009

Deadline : 31st December 2009

As the world's focus turns to Copenhagen and climate change, Demotix wants you to document environmental changes and issues local to you. Be creative. From extreme weather to pollution to over-fishing, we want to see stories showing how humans are affecting the environment - or how the environment is affecting us.

There are no restrictions on how often you can enter nor when the story was taken. This is the perfect time to upload those stunning photos from your archive, or to go out to get a new story.

HOW TO ENTER

It's incredibly simple. Upload your photos as normal, and choose the category Environment. Every feature story will be considered for the award. The closing date is the 31st December.

THE PRIZES

First Place: the opportunity to turn your photojournalism into a beautiful coffee-table book. Blurb, custom book publishers for the masses, will allow the winner to produce and customize their own bookstore-quality book or books, up to the value of £50.

Teresa Pereira, Senior Director at Blurb UK, said: “In an age of citizen journalism and new media, Demotix is streamlining content to help tell stories that are too often overlooked, but affect all of us. Flipping the news gathering process on its head, Demotix is giving everyone a voice and platform on which to be heard. Providing that open platform is at the heart of Blurb's foundation and we hope that through books, these stories can continue to live on.”

Runners up will also be able to have their work printed - this time by Moo, the stunning card printers.

Second Place will receive 60 postcards of their best work, beautifully printed onto glossy stock.

Third place takes a set of Moo's innovative mini-cards, ideal for creating a pocket portfolio with a range of your images to enhance your personal brand as a photojournalist.

All winners will be featured on the Demotix homepage and promoted intensively to photo editors and creatives worldwide.
