This contest is open to students ages 13 to 19 who are in middle school or high school around the world.
Your photo essay MUST include:
- Between six and eight images, uploaded in the order in which you’d like us to view them.
- Short captions, or descriptions, of no more than 75 words for each image that help explain what the image illustrates and why that is important to the story.
- A short introduction of up to 300 words that offers important background or context that complements and adds to the information in the photos and captions.
- You might consider the introduction the beginning of your essay, which the photos and descriptions will then continue. Together they will answer questions like who this community is, how it came to be, and why it matters.
- At least one quote — embedded in either the introduction or one of the captions — from a member of the community about what makes it meaningful.
