Each year, InterAction’s photography contest focuses on the incredible humanitarian and development work done in the field.

As we prepare for our 2010 Annual Forum, we are seeking submissions that help raise awareness of our community’s efforts and to introduce the American public to the lives we help to transform throughout the world.

We encourage you to submit your most provocative photos that illustrate innovative, effective and inspiring efforts in international relief and development. All images should be of work in the field, outside the United States.

DEADLINE: March 30th, 2010

One Grand Prize Winner will receive round-trip airfare to Washington, DC (flights originating in the U.S. only), where they will receive their award at the Gala Banquet of InterAction’s 2010 Forum, June 2-4, 2010.

The Grand Prize Winner’s photograph will also run as the cover of the special Forum recap issue of Monday Developments Magazine. The winner will also receive a complimentary one-year subscription to Monday Developments Magazine and one free half-page advertisement.
