The
Syngenta Photography Awardis an international competition that seeks to stimulate dialogue around key global challenges through powerful photography.
This year's theme is
Grow-Conserve. As the world's population continues to increase, so does the tension between our growing demand for more food, energy and resources, and the protection of our planet. How can we manage economic, social and technological growth in a way that supports the needs of today as well as for future generations? Bold and transformative action is needed.
Photographers, whatever their approach, are invited to submit images that explore the theme of
Grow-Conserveand tell stories about the relationship and trade-offs that exist between these two forces that are shaping the sustainability of our planet.
There are two categories:
