Grid-Arendal has announced that it is calling for entries for its Blue Carbon photo contest. The competition is looking for images in two categories: People & the Environment and Coastal & Marine Ecosystems. The competition is open to professional and non-professional entrants with an affiliation to a grassroots environmental organization.

Full details and competition rules are on the Blue Carbon photo contest page, and the deadline for entries is 16 September.

Press Release.

Blue Carbon Photo Contest - “Life on the Coasts – Blue Carbon.”

We are inviting grassroots organizations involved in coastal and marine conservation to participate in UNEP/GRID-Arendal’s Blue Carbon Photography Contest. Selected photographs are intended for use in a special publication for the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Durban, South Africa (COP17), and for an online image resource - the Blue Carbon Photo Library.

The theme of the contest “Life on the coasts - Blue Carbon” focuses on the importance of a healthy marine environment in coastal livelihoods.

We are looking for iconic images in two categories – People & the Environment, and Coastal & Marine Ecosystems. Examples include coastal and underwater scenes, community based restoration and conservation projects, our connection to healthy coastal ecosystems (e.g. fisheries, tourism), and how a changing ocean and climate impact the daily life of people and communities living along the coast.

As long as there is a clear affiliation with a grassroots organization, all professional and non-professional photographers worldwide are welcome to submit. Organization logos will also be highlighted in the special publication. Blue Climate Solutions has offered a digital underwater camera as a prize for the best image.

To SUBMIT your images, please see the Competition Rules and information and send all submissions via email

The DEADLINE for submitting pictures to UNEP/GRID-Arendal is SEPTEMBER 16, 2011. Finalists will be announced by the end of September 2011.
