What’s involved?
To celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission (HREOC) is holding a photo competition based on the theme ‘Dignity and justice for all of us’.
The theme reinforces the vision of the Declaration as a commitment to universal dignity and justice, and reinforces how human rights are an inextricable part of our lives – for everyone, everywhere, everyday.
HREOC is searching for images that reflect the theme of the competition and provide a unique approach to a human rights subject.
For some, the photograph will record a moment that celebrates dignity and justice; for others, it will capture fundamental rights and freedoms being recognised; or it may be an observance of what human rights means to you.
The judging panel will choose a Winner and Highly Commended in each of the three categories: Under 18 (male), Under 18 (female) and 18 and Above (age at 30 June 2008).
Prizes
The winner in each category will receive a voucher to the value of $500 at Digital Camera Warehouse.
Highly Commended entries will each receive a certificate and a year’s subscription to Australian Photography Magazine (valued at $77).
Winners, Highly Commended and Shortlisted entries in each category will be placed on the HREOC website and displayed at HREOC’s annual human rights medals and awards ceremony on 10 December.

Entries close on Friday, 31 October 2008.
