ABOUT THE CONTEST
GDN's annual Photo Essay Contest invites you to share your unique perspective on one of our most pressing global issues: climate change. After the success of our 2023 contest on biodiversity, we're back with a new theme, challenging photographers to capture the resilience, innovation, and impact of climate change on communities. This contest harnesses the power of photography to inspire and inform, spotlighting the realities of climate change and sparking conversations that can drive positive change.
Whether you're a seasoned photographer or an enthusiastic amateur from a low- and middle-income country, we invite you to use your lens to tell a story and contribute to a global dialogue on building a more sustainable future through our 2024 theme - Impact, Challenges and Solutions in My Community.
