Organised by the World Association for Christian Communication (WACC), the theme of this annual photography competition is 'Women’s Communication Rights'. The competition is open to men, women, and children, of all ages and from all countries. Amateurs and professionals are welcome to submit photographs that capture women communicating and women's communication rights in action, or photographs illustrating how women use communication to empower themselves.


Judges will select one overall winner and five highly commended photographers. A selection of entries will be exhibited in Toronto, Canada, and will be used in WACC publications, such as their website and their journal "Media Development". Each entrant may submit an unlimited number of photographs, but no entrant may win more than one prize in the contest. Winners of the competition will be awarded cash prizes. There will be one first prize and five commendations. The first prize is US$500, and each commendation will be awarded US$200. The competition winners will be announced on May 8 2008.

The deadline for application is May 1 2008.
