About the competition:
The

conference on the 18th of May, in Jakarta.
Over 300

Peatland event, with thousands more being able to tune in online. With
representatives from the private sector, NGOs, leading international
organizations, government and an online social media campaign that will reach
millions through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and live streaming, Peatlands
Matter can put your work on the world’s stage.
Who can participate?
This
year’s photo competition is open to anyone and everyone, whether you are a
professional photographer or a casual enthusiast. If you’ve got a keen eye for
photography, show the world here!
How to submit photos:
To
participate, photographers must first upload their photos to the landscapes.org
website to be
considered for the jury’s choice award. Once your photo has been approved and
uploaded to our website, you can then begin promoting your work on social media
platforms — making sure to tag the relevant GLF social media page in all posts
— to be considered for the audience choice.
Photos
should be uploaded with a title, the photographer’s name and a short
description explaining the location, subject and a brief background story that
explains how it relates to peatlands.
Winners
of the audience choice award will be selected before the conference on the 12th
of May, and there is no deadline for submission. However, earlier submissions
will have a better chance of gathering social media attention. So send us your
photos soon!
