Livelihoods Asia Photography Contest 2014 :
Welcome to the Livelihoods Asia Photography Contest 2014!
In order to understand and assess the key issues and challenges that the sector faces and also to craft a vision and strategy for its growth, ACCESS introduced the Livelihoods India Initiative, a national platform on livelihoods. The initiative has evolved significantly over the years and has emerged as an important forum for all stakeholders to discuss and mull over critical issues that impede and afflict the sustainability of the livelihoods of poor.

With more than 1 million photographs shared via the Internet every day, the world of photography is undergoing tremendous change. Our goal is to foster a growing, global community of photographers creating images that stand apart through their creativity, their ability to move people and their capacity for communication. The Livelihoods Asia Photography Contest is a forum that brings together people with a passion for photography and an active commitment to bettering the lives of the poor. Here, photographers of all sorts can acknowledge each other, be stimulated by diverse points of view and thrive through competition.

We believe in the power of the image to tell stories that can’t be told any other way. The Livelihoods Asia Photography Contest is a celebration of that belief and an invitation to you to share your story with the world. We would be honoured to have you take part in this year’s contest.
