When is the competition open ?

The 2022 competition is now closed.

What should we contribute ? Pictures! Audio! Videos!

The theme Home and Habitat calls for the submission of visual representations of home, habitat. The theme celebrates the diversity and unique spaces and places both humans and animals alike consider home. Those quarters, lodgings, rooms, addresses, locations, dens, nests, burrows and caves. Those places of safety and peace where people and animals can relax, recover, rest, reconnect with family and community, and where they can fully express themselves, their tastes, their identity and heritage.

More on the 2022 theme...

The theme for the 2022 contest is Home and Habitat.

Homes come in all shapes and sizes. They reflect our deep-seated identity, interconnections to our community and economic reality. They display our traditional roots, our aesthetic choices and our aspirations. >> Read more about the theme and get inspiration here.

Animals have homes and habitats too ... they dig, construct, connect, build to be safe, or come together as communities ...
