SEARCA Photo Contest 2012 (Deadline: 31 Desember 2012)
SEARCA PHOTO CONTEST 2012 will award entries that best capture the
importance of water. We are looking for photographs that emphasize the
usefulness of water, the challenges that it faces, and the opportunities
and threats it brings. Photographic subjects may highlight or focus on
the following sub-themes:
Water in Our Daily Lives. Water, no matter how abundant or ubiquitous should not be taken for granted. Examples of these are photos that display people’s everyday interactions with water. Water and Food Security. Images may depict the role water plays in agriculture, and the processing, transport, and marketing of food. Water and Climate Change. Too little or too much water due to the changing climate has caused floods, droughts, pollution, and scarcity, affecting millions of people. Photographs may show solutions or recurrent problems and the effects of climate change on water resources in rural or urban areas.
