Theme: One World

Your photographs are to show that with the new ways of communicating, including the image, we all live in a world where borders are changing. Today we are living on a planet where all countries, all cultures and all humans can easily be in contact, either physically (plane, car, train…), or via the web. The world is in the process of becoming a single entity. Some borders disappear. Others reappear. But we should think of our planet as a common good and act in solidarity. The approach may be documentary, poetic, ironic, critical, social, architectural, ecological or metaphorical. All stylistic approaches are possible: what matters will be the implication of the photographer’s eye to interpret our contemporary world and the quality of the photographs proposed.
