Young people awarded the chance to join world renowned photographers on a trip to EthiopiaLONDON, United Kingdom, 11 January 2010 – To mark the 20th anniversary of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) on 20 November 2009, the World Photography Organisation, Sony Corporation and UNICEF are giving six young photographers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to travel to Ethiopia for a photography workshop complete with mentoring from acclaimed photographer and humanitarian activist Reza.
For the chance to join the field trip, young photographers between ages 12 and 18 are being invited to log on to www.worldphotographyawards.org/unicef and show their support for children’s rights by pledging a single photograph, accompanied by a written pledge, highlighting one of the five fundamental children’s rights:
* The right to survival
* to education
* to health
* to protection from harm, abuse and exploitation
* and the right to be heard
Six selected young photographers will attend the Sony World Photography Awards and World Photography Festival in Cannes, France, in April 2010, where they will collect their award. They will then attend a workshop in Ethiopia for young photographers in the Summer of 2010.
