From the organizer:
You are invited to join competition Talent Prize 2014 with the theme “Climate Change in Photography”.
“Art in general plays an important role in the development of our society and photography is an art form cultivated by many, not least young people with smartphones. Photography is interesting because it immediately captures and reflects different snap shots and perspectives on the development of our society” says Ambassador John Nielsen.
A Jury of one Danish and two Vietnamese experts will select up to 80 photos for an exhibition in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. The exhibitions will take place in October or early November 2014 and the winners of the Talent Prize will be announced at the exhibitions.
“In a fast developing global world we are constantly faced with the consequences of climate change and environmental issues. The purpose of this contest is to explore how these issues and consequences are perceived and expressed in photography” share John Nielsen.
“I hope this competition will contribute to underpin the fact, that the climate agenda is more and more important and that each and every one of us can make a difference” concludes John Nielsen who has been Earth Hour Ambassador the last three years.
