MyAfrica photo competition is an opportunity for African people of all ages and abilities to submit to us an image which, for them, best illustrates what they feel will shape the continent over the next 10 years.
The Mo Ibrahim Foundation (MIF) is seeking images that capture Africa in its many diverse settings and communities, depicting the developments, challenges and opportunities that could potentially characterise the next decade. The theme is open to each person’s interpretation but we’re looking for beautiful, inspiring and original photographs.
There are three categories:
- professional
- amateur
- under 18s.
One winner will be selected from each category, with prizes of $10,000 USD awarded to each of the three winners. In the case of the under 18s winner, the prize money will be split equally between the student and his/her school.
