The world today is plagued with numerous issues that are overwhelming society into turning a blind eye to this endless sea of bad news. As civilization faces political, social, religious, and economic adversities, the environmental challenges are burdening society to the point of shattering our own existence. Many words have been spoken, many activists have raised their voices to protest and defend the environment, but this struggle is in vain since collective effort is lacking. The awareness generated is sidelined by man’s desire for futile wealth, and this selfish attitude pushes us closer to doomsday. People need to take responsibility for their actions and assist in the fight for survival.
This competition is an initiative by UNI to devise opportunities for Photographers to reflect their ideas, thoughts, and interpretations of capturing the real world through digital lenses. It allows enthusiasts and professionals from the world over to share their outstanding bodies of work.
The objective of this challenge was to capture the world going into environmental ruin due to human behavior, in a picture story using not more than 8 images – along with a concept note. The aim is to turn the heads of people towards issues like this, in a deep introspective manner. Use the ability of pictures to speak a thousand words to evoke self-awareness and emotions of regret and contemplation in the wider audiences.
Some of the Best competition projects are as follows:
