Help us tell the story of technology and innovation that improves resilience and food security around the globe! Feed the Future is holding a photo contest to showcase our partners’ work on digital technologies and innovation. Submissions are due July 20!

Here are the guidelines for submission:

• Photo must have been taken from a Feed the Future- and/or USAID-funded activity in the past 10 years.
• Photo should reflect digital technology that supports agriculture, nutrition, resilience, or water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) in an international development context.
• High-resolution, high-quality photos that are at least 1024 pixels or larger (tall or wide) or around 300 pixels per inch. Please send us the highest resolution version of the photo you have (at least 1 MB). If you are using Photoshop, please send only level 7 or higher compressed photos. 
• Accepted formats: high-quality JPG and PNG.
• Only 2 photos per contestant will be accepted
• Photos must each be an original submission (submitted by photographer or with permission).
• Photos must each include a credit: name of photographer, and names of any people featured in the photograph.
• Photos must include a robust caption, which includes a description of what is going on in the photo, who is involved, where and when it was taken (country tag is especially important), and what digital tools are being showcased. 250 words or less.

We’ll upload all the photos to Feed the Future’s Flickr page for everyone to view and announce the winners on USAID and Feed the Future blog and social media platforms, as well as on this landing page. The winning photos will also likely appear in future Feed the Future and USAID publications. We’ll notify you via email if your photo wins.
