FAO photo contest
The Forestry Department of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), is launching a photo contest to recognize the beauty of forests and the people who use them.
Photos will be evaluated according to how well they depict forests and trees and their place in people’s lives, conceptually and artistically. A panel of foresters and photographers will select the best 20 photos for display at an international conference on forests, the 18th session of the FAO Committee on Forestry, in March 2007. One of the photographers among the top 20 winners will be invited to attend. Selected photos will be published on the FAO Forestry Web site and in Unasylva, FAO’s international journal of forestry.
Entrants should submit their photos by 31 October 2006. Entrants must own full copyright to pictures submitted, which they must be able to certify, if requested. Photos submitted to the contest are not returnable. Submissions received cannot be acknowledged. Winners will be informed and announced on the FAO Forestry Web site in December 2006. The competition is not open to FAO staff or family members.
