Scholarship Description
The Syngenta Photography Awards is an international competition that seeks to create conversation around key global challenges through powerful photography.
This year’s theme is Grow-Conserve. As the world’s population continues to increase, so does the the growing need for food, energy and resources and the protection of the planet. How can we manage economic, social and technological growth in a way that supports the needs of today as well as for future generations? Can we do more with less? Bold and transformative action is needed.
Photographers, whatever their approach, are invited to submit images that explore the theme of Grow-Conserve and tell stories about the relationship and trade-offs that exist between these two forces that are shaping the sustainability of our planet.
