From November 9th through December 31st, we are calling on photographers and photojournalists around the country to use the camera as a tool to shine a light on a social injustice that exists in any given community; to help the world see what is hidden from the prominent discourses of society and/or allow us to see these realities from an altogether different perspective. Then, after crafting the narrative of this social injustice, we want entrants to submit their photo to us and our award-winning panel of judges. Ultimately, the winner of the competition will be the person determined by our judges and the public to be the most able to use their photography as a catalyst for change and a tool for understanding. This winner will then be able to come with us on an all-expenses-paid trip to Odisha, India to help us document the sanitation crisis!

All the photographer needs to do is submit a photograph depicting a social injustice with a 100 word description to provide some context for the photo. The voting for these photos will be 50% based on social media and 50% based on the judges decision. The top 10 finalists will then be invited to our final event on January 16th, 2016 in Washington, DC, where the winner will be announced.
