Do you have an award-winning photo stored on your camera? Have you captured the story of a Feed the Future project through your lens?

If you have a photo that shows work to reduce hunger poverty and malnutrition through the program, you might enter the image in the Feed the Future photo contest.

Photos could depict new technologies in action, private sector engagement, empowerment of women or youth, improved nutrition, climate responsive and environmentally sensitive development, increased resilience and productivity, or value chains from field to market to table.

Photos must:

  • Be high-resolution, high quality images that are at least 1024 pixels or larger or around 300 pixels per inch. Send the highest resolution version (at least 1 MB), or level 8 or higher compressed photos if using Photoshop.
  • Be in JPG or JPEG formats
  • Be original submissions (either submitted by the photographer or with the photographer’s permission) and not submitted to a FtF or USAID photo contest previously.
  • Include credit (name of photographer and organization, if applicable).
  • Have a complete caption that includes a description of the action in the photo, who is involved, where it was taken and how the scene relates to a Feed the Future initiative.
