Photography 4 Humanity is an international initiative that calls on photographers around the world to bring to life the power of human rights through their images. Highlighting the most compelling imagery - illustrating courage, despair, hope, injustice, compassion, human rights failures or victories in ways small and large - the images will serve to inspire people to personally get involved and to take a stand for human rights.

The 2023 edition has turned its lens towards climate justice. Climate change is a human rights issue, so you’re welcome to submit images relate to people being impacted by climate change, and/or people trying to reverse and/or mitigate climate change.

Images must concern current events. All images must have been taken within between September 1, 2022 and August 31, 2023. You may submit up to five photographs. Copyright for all submitted photography is retained by the photographer.

There is no entry fee.

Eligibility

Open worldwide to anyone 18 years or older.

Prize
