Photographers worldwide are invited to participate and raise awareness of the ongoing global concern of toxic mercury.
Mercury is in the top 10 chemicals of major public health concern, according to the World Health Organization. Once released into the environment, mercury can travel long distances and persist in the air, water, sediments, soil, and living organisms.
The#MakeMercuryHistory Photo Contest seeks to raise awareness of the ongoing global concern of mercury pollution. Through visual representation, you can help open the eyes of a broad public that may have not yet realized the magnitude of the problem and show that everybody can contribute to reducing mercury pollution and that a clean environment is still possible.
Eligibility:
- The Competition is open to all individuals that are at least 18 years of age at the time of the photo submission.
The competition features three categories:
- mercury pollution
- the environment
- the people working to phase out mercury
Photographers are encouraged to send one picture per category.
There will be one winner for each of the three categories listed above and nine finalists. Exciting awards and visibility will be offered for each winner.
The deadline for submissions is 31 December 2022.
