This category focuses on capturing the energy and actions of young people working to fight climate change. The goal is to document their roles as leaders, advocates, and change-makers, showing their passion and commitment to creating a sustainable future. Here are some ideas for what to photograph:
Activism in Action:
Hands-On Efforts:
Education and Awareness:
The focus is on capturing moments that show the strength, unity, and hope of young people as they take action for the planet. Look for scenes that highlight their leadership, collaboration, and determination to make a difference.
We are looking for all types of images that you believe will help us in our courses, blogs, and social media. Photos tell stories, give us glimpses of others’ lives and show us parts of the world we have never seen. Your photography will help us raise awareness about the environmental challenges that we all face in our communities.
We are looking for original photographs. You do not need any special equipment and you can take images with your phone. For every 5 images, you will get 1 hour of credit.
We accept a variety of content/subject matter as long as it pertains to our work. Do NOT send multiple JPEGs of the same photo, but you can take multiple shots of the same subject. For example, if you are taking pictures at a park, capturing different angles of someone picking up trash—showing the scenery, trash bag, and garbage—are all acceptable. However, if you take 5 similar photos of a person sitting at a desk, we will only be able to use one image.
Ready to start capturing images through a camera lens? Don’t worry if you’re a beginner – it’s all about trial and error and finding your unique style. Experiment with different angles, lighting, and subjects to discover what works for you. Your effort is all that is required, and once we verify your images, we will give you credit.
