The competion closes on Wednesday 28 July
Winners are announced on International Youth Day,12 August

WHAT'S YOUR OPINION OF URBANISATION?
It doesn’t matter what sort of camera you have; phone camera, high-end digital, point-and-shoot - it’s your view of what city life is like that we are after. This year we want young people the world over to address the challenges of an increasingly urban world. Whether living in the country, town or big city, we want to build a global picture of what urban environments mean to young people. Are the streets paved with gold? Or are they fraught with risk and difficulty? And how do the challenges of growing up in the city differ as a boy or a girl? The competition will also focus on the movement and impact on the people and places left behind.

BRIEF

Shoot Nations is a partnership between Plan UK and Shoot Experience to encourage young people (11-25) to express their thoughts on global issues through photography. The project includes a photography competition and a global exhibition and workshop tour and each year the 48 strongest images are presented to the UN in NYC on International Youth Day.

The theme for this year’s competition is
‘CITY LIVING’, and is available in five languages...

This year we want people to look at the world around them and think about their place in it, along with any limitations, advantages and opportunities that come with being born male
or female.

Take 3 photographs that capture the following:

 1. What does 'city' mean to you?
2. Growing up in the city as a boy or a girl
3. Country to city, city to country - people on the move

This global photography competition is open to all young people aged 11 to 25 and is FREE to enter.

Join young people from all religions, cultures and countries and use photography to share your passions and frustrations with us and the rest of the world.

*HAVE YOUR SAY* 48 of the best images are presented to the UN in NYC each year on International Youth Day.

*PRIZES* The UK winner will win a trip to New York to present selected project photos to the United Nations on International Youth Day. Other prizes include cameras, designer maps and National Geographic subscriptions.
