This photography competition aims to showcase the power of imagery in capturing and communicating effective community-based health solutions. We believe that photography is a unique medium that can effectively capture and convey the progress, innovation, and collaborative efforts made in addressing public health challenges in communities.

 

The theme of this competition, “Reflections,” encourages photographers to capture the power of community-driven initiatives

in improving public health outcomes. We hope that this competition will inspire photographers to create and share powerful visual narratives that showcase the incredible work of individuals and organizations who are leading the way in building healthier and more resilient communities.
