IFES conducts an annual democracy-themed photography competition to profile the many ways individuals demonstrate a sense of civic responsibility around the world. This year IFES encourages images of individuals taking part in the electoral process or other activities that demonstrate the values of democratic governance and citizen engagement.
The contest is divided into two categories: one open to the public and another open exclusively to current and former IFES employees. One winner and as many as 10 finalists will be named for each category. The winner of each category will receive US$600.
IFES will accept submissions for the competition from January 5 to February 16, 2012. For more information or to submit an entry, click here.
