Submission Deadline – CAPA Photojournalism Competition
March 11 @ 11:30 pm
Photojournalism is the art of crafting a ‘newsworthy’ image that narrates a compelling story. We invite you to delve into the creation of a “newsworthy” image.
For the purposes of this competition, “newsworthy” is defined as:
- Timeliness – a recent event or incident;
- Proximity – a local, national or international topic of interest;
- Conflict and Controversy – situations where people argue or disagree or protest for (or against) actions, events, ideas or policies;
- Human Interest – situations that show people are interested in other people;
Themes
Submitted image must fall within one of the following themes:
- Contemporary Issue – image that sheds light on current matters, resolved or ongoing, which affect (or have affected) people or places. Example of issues: natural disasters, impactful situations, parades, protests, community conflicts gender inequality, and more.
- Environmental Issue – images that explore problems concerning our planet’s air, water, soil, and beyond. Topics can include climate change, acid rain, air pollution, urban sprawl, waste disposal, water pollution, outer-space pollution.
- Animal/Botany/Bird/Insect – images that are ‘newsworthy’ issues or topics relating to animals, botany, birds, marine subject or insects. (A ‘bird-on-a-stick’ type image would not normally be considered a ‘newsworthy’ image unless it is an image capture of an extremely rare bird or endangered species).
- Sports – ‘newsworthy’ images that unleash the energy of sports through candid images of athletes in action.
