The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is hosting a photo contest to promote the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The Picture This: We Can End Poverty campaign asked professional and amateur photographers to submit photos that represented one (or more) of the eight goals.
The pictures will be judged by a five-person panel, which includes: Mark Garten, chief of photography for the UN; actor and UNDP goodwill ambassador Antonio Banderas; photojournalist Alexandra Avakian; AFP photo director Paola Messana; and John Isaac, photojournalist for the UN.
I recently submitted four photos to the contest, taken during my travels with Peace Boat. I submitted three photos, featuring Peace Boat’s MDGs projects, under the category of Goal 8: Building Global Parnterships and a fourth snap, from our visit to Fijian NGO femLinkPacific, in the category of Goal 3: Promote Gender Equality and Empower Women.
The contest is accepting votes for a People’s Choice award. Voting is open now and continues until August 15. If you’d like to vote for one or more of my photos, please follow the link’s below.
