Hewlett-Packard India, Sanctuary and WWF-India photography contest




Our climate is getting unpredictable and more violent by the minute. Human survival itself is at risk.
After years of denial, the countries of the world are now convinced that climate change is a reality. We must act collectively to adapt to the changes that are inevitable, reverse the most dangerous trends, including our penchant for over-loading the earth's atmosphere with carbon. This will need lifestyle changes. It will also need the governments of the world to unite. We can and must win the climate battle or we will perish.

This is our "Inconvenient Truth." This is also our "11 th Hour."
Hewlett-Packard India, Sanctuary and WWF-India have joined hands to search for images that have the power to shake people out of their stupor, to recognise the reality and inevitability of climate change. We hope to move them to action by showing how the quality of their lives is going to be impacted. We are looking for creative, attention-grabbing, or poignant images that graphically express the reality and impact of climate change on people and the environment. These images will help us fight for climate stability and justice. You are limited only by your imagination.

Literally, any image you take is eligible for entry, provided you are able to explain its climate change relevance in between 10 and 25 words. Your subject could be living or non-living, involve man-made or natural environments, depict technology, health, urban or rural life, the economy, the problems or the solutions. The jury will be looking for images that have the ability to grab the attention of people, images that tell a story, and that have the potential to change peoples' lives.
