Development Gateway Foundation Photo Contest

Enter to Win $1,000 Prize


Is a picture worth 1,000 words? We are giving $1,000 to the winner of this year's photo contest. Show us your image of development in action.

WHO: The Development Gateway Foundation photo competition is open to ALL photographers at least 13 years of age, except employees of the foundation and their immediate families. Your entry to the contest constitutes your agreement to allow your photograph, name, occupation, city and state of residence, to be published as the selected award winner; published or used on the foundation Web sites; and used for the promotion of the foundation including, but not limited to, Web pages, brochures, fact sheets, and other materials. Entrants retain ownership and all other rights to future use of their photographs. The Development Gateway Foundation shall have the right to verify, in its sole judgment, winner eligibility.

WHAT: We are looking for compelling photographs of socio-economic development in developing countries. Four types of photographs will be accepted. 1) The images may show information and communications technologies helping ordinary people. 2) The images may show people making something, selling wares, working in a field, constructing a building or type of infrastructure, or acquiring knowledge. 3) The images could be abstract images representing hope, the future, or capacity building. 4) The photographs may also include images of original artwork from a developing country. Please do not include photographs of groups of people posing.

Each entry must include a written statement explaining how that image is representative of development. Images will be judged on technical excellence, composition, overall impact, and artistic merit.

Entrants must not infringe on the rights of any other photographer or person.

Please include the website or how you heard about the photo contest.

WHEN: Deadline for submitting entries is September 19, 2008.

Individuals living within the United States will receive the prize as a check by the mail. Individuals living outside the United States will receive the prize as a wire transfer. In this case, the winner must provide information on his or her bank account.

The top ten photographs will be posted on the Development Gateway Foundation Web site. All visitors to the site will be able to vote once.

The voting will begin on October 1 and end on October 15. The winner will be announced on October 31 and should expect an interview later on in the week.

Prize: $1,000

Send submissions or questions to: photocontest@dgfoundation.org. Original files of camera-made digital photos must be three (3) megapixels or larger.

Each participant may submit up to 3 photographs total.
