Tying in with the International Year of Creative Economy for Sustainable Development 2021, the UNU Institute for Integrated Management of Material Fluxes and of Resources (UNU-FLORES) and Technische Sammlungen Dresden aim to mobilise professional and amateur photographers and videographers to advocate for sustainability through a storytelling contest. Photographers and videographers of all levels are invited to submit stories that relate to the Resource Nexus and one or more of the following themes:
- Agriculture
- Forests
- Circular Economy
- Climate Change
- Biodiversity
Submissions should do one or both of the following:
- Showcase the impact of any of the above on the Resource Nexus or vice versa
- Showcase positive action for sustainable development
Winning entries — with cash prizes worth up to 2,000 euros — will be judged based on their relevance to the themes, originality and creativity, and inspirational power or potential social impact. They will be showcased in a physical exhibition at the Technische Sammlungen Dresden and in a digital gallery, and will also be used in UNU-FLORES publications.
See the UNU-FLORES website for more information and submission details.
