We are launching the Education for All Photo Contest for 18-30 year olds, with a USD$500 prize for the winner. The winner will also have the chance of seeing their photo printed in the next Education for All (EFA) Global Monitoring Report (GMR) and promoted globally to media and at our numerous launch events.

The next edition of the EFA Report is due out in April 2015 and will review how well the EFA movement has contributed to ensuring all children, young people and adults enjoy their right to a quality education

As the next Report will look at progress in education from 2000 to today, your photo should illustrate ideas linked to youth, education, literacy, skills and/or the world of work among members of your community over the past fifteen years.

After the competition closes at 23.59 on 9 November 2014, qualifying photos will be judged on adherence to the competition challenge through its message clarity, composition and overall presentation. UNESCO-GMR will appoint a jury to judge the entries. The jury’s decision is final; the jury may also decide not to select any photos to appear in the next Report if entries are judged of insufficient quality. Any attempt by a participant to influence the result or subvert the photo competition will lead to immediate disqualification.

The competition winners will be announced on 17 November 2014 and notified by e-mail.
