Deadline: April 30, 2025

Submit your entries for the World Environment Day Photography Showcase on the State of our Environment 2025. In celebration of this year’s World Environment Day, Hivos is inviting submissions from photographers and sketch artists with original work that capture environmental degradation and climate change in Zambia. The aim of the competition is to promote grassroots picture storytelling on issues affecting our environment and everyday life.

The submissions will be used to invoke discussions with Members and Parliament on what needs to be done differently to mitigate and prevent further damage to our environment. They hope that this will be a way to excite and encourage communities to participate in debates on how the impacts of environmental degradation and climate change affect our wellbeing.

Categories

The sketches and photographs under each theme should capture the following:

  • Climate change – Drought, floods, water scarcity, energy use, health impacts like disease outbreaks etc.
  • Biodiversity loss – Deforestation, loss of animal and water species, overexploitation, sustainable agriculture, sustainable fishing and forest management, urban gardening, pollination etc.
  • Mining – Water pollution, air pollution, human displacements, tailing dams, community livelihoods vs environmental degradation, illnesses related to mining etc.
  • Environmental degradation and pollution – Waste management, plastic pollution, improper use of herbicide and pesticides, mitigating measures to the foregoing, etc.

Eligibility

  • Open to photographers and sketch artists in Zambia.
  • They should have original work that capture environmental degradation and climate change in Zambia.
  • Young people, women and people living with disabilities are particularly encouraged to submit entries.

Application

  • Each participant will be required to fill out a short entry. Submit a short writeup of not more than 200 words accompanied with 3 to 4 photos that tell a story on any of our 4 thematic areas. The 4 thematic areas are (1) climate change, (2) biodiversity loss, (3) mining, and (4) environmental degradation and pollution. Participants should clearly indicate under which thematic area they are applying.
  • The entries can either capture the devastating effects as the current state or the mitigation efforts as the aspired future. A panel of technical judges will be constituted to shortlist 16 entries (4 from each category) whose work will be published on Hivos and partner websites and social media page(s) and in a picture story book on ‘The state of climate change and environment in Zambia” to be presented and distributed at COP 30.
  • The shortlisted candidates will receive recognition as climate champions. On World Environment Day (June 5, 2025), the 16 finalists will be invited to a final ceremony graced by the Ministry of Green Economy and Environment as well as Members of Parliament. 4 winners from the shortlisted entries will be selected and presented with a monetary prize.

To submit fill out this entry form and send an email, attaching your photos/sketches to [email protected]. Entries will be received from April 1, 2025 to April 30, 2025. All entries must be sent to: [email protected], clearly titled World Environment Day Photography and the category being applied for, e.g. World Environment Day Photography Climate Change.
