IFES Democracy Photography Contest

The International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES) invites entries in its annual photo contest profiling the ways people around the world demonstrate a sense of civic responsibility. The contest seeks images of individuals taking part in the electoral process and other activities that demonstrate the values of democratic governance and civic engagement.

Two distinct groups are eligible for entry, one open to the public and another exclusive to current and former IFES employees. One winner and as many as ten finalists will be named for each category. The winner of each category will receive US$600.

IFES is a non-profit, non-partisan organisation that promotes democratic stability by providing technical assistance and applying field-based research to the electoral cycle worldwide to enhance citizen participation and strengthen civil societies, governance, and transparency.
