Eyes On The Planet: Stares at The Changing World
|
 |
From the 1st of March, photographic enthusiasts meet on www.eyesontheplanet.org to take part to the international photographic contest Eyes on the Planet. The contest aims at raising awarness on the latest socio-enviromental issues through a universal direct and emotional mean: photography. Moreover the contest offers to young emerging photographers a good oppurtunity of visibilitiy and training. Eyes on the Planet adresses to young emerging photographers and to photographic enthusiasts between the age of 18 and 35.
Join the contest is very easy. Candidates could enrol for the contest on website and upload their digital photo in one of the four categories, within the 30th September:
• ENVIRONMENT - images must show that ‘small things’ can cause ‘big’ problems. We also want images of those who put forth a small effort in a positive way, the little hero that makes a change;
• PEOPLE – life stories, solidarity gestures, people helping people for a better world;
• CLIMATE – The negative impact of climate changes must lead the people to a consideration on their responsabilities and call our life style into question;
• FOOD – The environmental conservation is also linked to preservation of the culture and of the territory from where the food items come from.
Manfrotto Group, Title sponsor for Eyes on the Planet, world leader in design and manufacture of photographic and video camera supports, is involved in corporate social responsability projects for long time.
Eyes on the Planet cooperates with important universities and photography schools - IED Milan, Istituto Italiano di Fotografia of Milano, Scuola di Fotografia of Naples and Società Umanitaria – and big press headings like Fotografia Reflex, Gente Viaggi, Qui Touring and Studenti Magazine. MSN & Windows Live are online media partner of the contest.
Winners will have grants to join professional and amateur training course, stage and photo equipment, offered by the contest partner schools.
The price-giving will take place at the end of November during a soirée in the suggestive location of Palazzo Marino. There, the best photos will be displayed in a photo exhbition and will be sold during a charity auction. Revenues will be given to the projects that Slow Food Foundation for Biodiversity Onlus and WWF are carrying out in Amazon, aim at sustain the local sustainable economy development.
