Amantani Uk Meet My World

Charity Photography Competition
Opens on the September 16th 2011
Closes on January 2nd 2012
£5 entry fee per image

Open to both amateur and professional photographers aged 18 years and above.

Amantani UK use photography to help the children express themselves and shares things from their communities, which make them proud to be Quechua! The most significant outcome is a strengthening of the children's identity whilst the photographic conclusion is a beautiful collection of frank insights into life in the Andes.

The theme of the competition:?

We are looking for images that reflect your world expressed through the lens of your camera. Maybe a serene English country landscape, an active urban community, an engaging or surreal portrait, travel... Anything that inspires you in your world.?
