Apply for the UNESCO Youth-in-Action Photo Contest 2023
Entries are now open and UNESCO invites participants for the 2023 Youth-in-Action Photo Contest.
They benefit from the right to access, rectify and remove data about themselves by formally requesting to UNESCO, through its Headquarters in Paris, France (starting now “the Organizer”) of the photography contest.
The contest aims to promote youth social engagement through a more creative lens, inviting young people to submit images that capture their work towards creating a better future for all.
Three winners will be selected to be featured on the UNESCO Youth Facebook page and in a Web story on UNESCO’s website, to share their stories and projects with the world. They would love your support in reaching as many young people as possible by sharing this through your youth networks and on your social media, if possible.
