The Climate Change Photo Essay Prize calls upon 18 – 30-year-olds from Africa and the global diaspora community to document the environmental changes happening before their very eyes. After the success of the first-ever edition of the Climate Change Photo Essay Prize in 2023, they are thrilled to launch the second edition of the prize with the theme – At a crossroad: Climate and change”.

This theme asks young photographers to consider how the ecological crisis is currently changing lives, how innovation and technology are responding to the crisis, and where change is not happening fast enough. The world is now at a crossroad when it comes to climate change, and photography can serve both as a tool for advocacy and as a barometer to show us where we stand.

Theme Statement: Climate and Change: How the ecological crisis changes lives, how innovation responds to the crisis, and where change is not happening fast enough.
