Deadline: September 1, 2025
Applications are open for the African Plant Nutrition Institute (APNI) Annual Photo Contest 2025. The contest invites photographers, researchers, and agriculture enthusiasts to showcase compelling images that highlight the importance of plant nutrition in African agriculture.
This year’s contest features two themes:
- Nutrient Deficiency Symptoms in Crops: Submit your examples of nutrient deficiency symptoms in African crops. Be sure to include a short description that includes the location and any key information or observations related to the image. For example, if you have any background on how the crop was managed, or any results from the lab, include that in your description for the benefit of others, and to help the evaluation.
- Plant Nutrition Research in Action: This is a more wide-open category designed to gather on-the-ground examples of plant nutrition and soil health-related research in action for Africa. They are especially looking for images plus descriptive captions that tell us how your scene aligns with one of their R&D themes of Climate & Weather Smart Plant Nutrition, Soil Health & Improved Livelihoods, or Precision Nutrient Management.
