Our Future is on the Table!

logo-eudevdaysTake your best shot… and meet global leaders

Would you like the chance to share your vision of our future with world leaders in Brussels? The six talented finalists of the EDD15 Photo Contest will be invited to attend Europe’s largest development forum, European Development Days 2015 on 3 & 4 June where their photos will be exhibited and they will have the opportunity to meet key actors in development and share their ideas for our future!

Our future is on the table!

We are all aware that food is important for our health and a vital part of our culture, but have you ever thought about how the food we eat affects the environment, society or the economy? Each year, the production of food contributes to various strains on the environment, including water shortages, deforestation, loss of biodiversity and pollution. Small farmers are losing their lands and livelihoods to large-scale farming, and soaring food prices in recent years have posed additional threats to food security. Currently, there are still 870 million people who do not have access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food. Last but not least, food plays a central role in family, social and religious life, shaping people’s identity and culture. What is your vision of how food will affect our future?

How do you see our future?

Photos can often tell stories that can’t be told any other way. EDD15 invites you to share your story with the world, and show us your vision of the relationship between food and sustainability. You will have the possibility of submitting photos in one of three categories: how the food we eat affects the environment, society or the economy.

How it works

Upload your original photo and caption onto their Facebook page through Woobox. Each photo should be accompanied with a short caption up to 140 characters, as well as a short story up to 1,500 characters explaining your shot.

There will be six final winners: one per continent. The winners will be selected through online votes and an independent EDD jury. If you take one of the six winning photos, you will get to participate in the EDD15 and share their thoughts with leaders from around the world in Brussels. Are you up for the challenge?

Submission deadline: 23:59 CET 10 April 2015
