To mark the 20th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), the World Photography Organisation, Sony Corporation and UNICEF are giving six young photographers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to travel to a photography workshop in Ethiopia complete with mentoring from acclaimed photographer and humanitarian activist Reza.
The six selected photographers will attend and collect their award at the Sony World Photography Awards and World Photography Festival in Cannes, France, in April 2010. The photography workshop they will attend in Ethiopia takes place in the summer of 2010.
Young photographers between ages 12 and 18 are being invited to show their support for children's rights by pledging a single photograph, accompanied by a written pledge, highlighting one of the five fundamental children's rights.
Read the guidelines and register.
The deadline for submissions is midnight GMT on February 28, 2010.
