Could your picture tell a thousand words? Then the camera is in your hands. Our photo competition is open to anyone with a passion for turning the lens on the real lives behind the headlines, and an ability to capture the most powerful images of the pandemic’s impact on everyday people. You don’t have to be a photographer or a journalist to apply; we’re calling for all visual storytellers to capture the untold consequences of COVID-19 on people’s lives and livelihoods.

Awards will be given for the three best photographs. The winning entries will be those that, in the opinion of the competition judges best visually capture the human impact of COVID-19 in its myriad forms.

Award Prizes
• All the recipients of the Award (the “Winners”) will receive an Award certificate.
