Application Deadline: March 22nd 2019
Global Landscapes Forum (GLF) is headed to Kyoto where hundreds of international experts will explore how to win the race against global warming and build a climate-smart future. Challenging business-as-usual activities involves developing a roadmap to shift policies, industries and habits onto a sustainable trajectory. GLF and partners aim to inspire a global movement to get on track and showcase how changes are already happening across countries and landscapes. We are calling on you to fuel that inspiration through your photos.
Share your best photographs to show us the changes you observe. Capture how people, communities and businesses are making a difference by switching their habits to tackle climate change. We want to see innovative recycling, biodiversity conservation, food production, manufacturing and transportation initiatives. We are interested in transformative diets and lifestyles, plastic use and trade and supply chains, making the fashion industry sustainable and more.
Eligibility
The competition is open to anyone over the age of 18, whether you are a photo enthusiast or a professional photographer.
PRIZE
- The winner will receive a $500 cash prize and receive global visibility across GLF digital and social media channels.
- GLF will showcase the winning photos at GLF Kyoto 2019 giving them high visibility to a global audience on-site and online.

Evaluation process
A panel of judges selected by GLF (to be announced) will select up to 25 photos from all eligible submissions received during the competition period.
