Abstract

The CGHR is pleased to announce: ‘A Thousand Words: Human Rights Through the Photographer’s Lens’. In our first annual photography competition the CGHR invites students across the University of Cambridge to submit their most compelling images fitting the theme of human rights. We are particularly interested in photographs that challenge ideas about human rights across the world, those that celebrate human potential and encourage debate. Are you an aspiring Photographer? Are you passionate about documentation of human rights issues? This is your chance to have your work exhibited on the CGHR website.

The judges will choose from these photos and may only include selected images from each series in the final exhibition. Judging panel to be confirmed.
