The purpose of the UN4U photo contest is to raise awareness regarding the core UN values of: Freedom, such as freedom from want and freedom from fear; Dignity; Solidarity; Justice; Protection; Human Rights; Security; Empowerment; Sustainability; Progress; Equality; and Peace.

The various agencies, commissions, funds and programmes of the UN throughout the Asia-Pacific region are holding a photo contest for all persons residing in eligible countries.

The contest is a chance for you to use your creativity to show UN values at work in your neighborhood, city, country or the Asia-Pacific region. The photos are totally up to you, just tell which UN values they represent and write a short description about how the photo captures that value and you could be entered to win great prizes from contest sponsor Nikon. There’s also a viewer’s choice prize that will be awarded to the picture with the most likes on the UN4U Facebook page.

The contest is open for submissions from August 27th to September 21st 2012. Please see how to enter and the list of partner and prizes.
