Through your Lens Photo Competition 2014

Organised by eLearning Africa, the 2014 "Through Your Lens" Photo Competition is being held under the theme "Social Africa: Building Bridges through ICT." Photographers are invited to submit snapshots depicting how information and communication technology (ICT) is enhancing the way individuals and communities in Africa live, learn, cooperate, and connect. The photo should show how communication tools and information technologies can build bridges and foster relationships between people and should be accompanied by a brief description outlining the inspiration behind their idea.

This photo competition is organised as part of eLearning Africa 2014, taking place from May 28 to 30 2014 in Kampala, Uganda. The annual conference is focuses on ICT-enhanced education and training in Africa, and is intended to give participants an opportunity to develop multinational and cross-industry contacts and partnerships, as well as to enhance their knowledge, expertise and abilities.

The photo competition winners will be picked by an expert panel of judges and a public vote, and prizes include a tablet pc, a digital camera, and an mp3 player. Participation is free and a selection of the submitted photos will feature in an exhibition at this year’s eLearning Africa conference.

All eligible photos submitted to the competition can be viewed and voted on via the “Through your Lens” Facebook application or by visiting the online “Through your Lens” photo gallery.
