Lova’s third photo competition is focused on the theme: Gender in turbulent times.
Image has the power to connect people, especially in times of crisis. So, despite the cancellation of LOVA’s Fifth International Conference due to the current corona epidemic we decided to proceed with the photo competition.
For joining the competition you are invited to hand in a photo that reflects upon the role that gender plays in turbulent times. Photos can evoke memories or feelings from the past; images make us reflect on the social construction of the (small) world around us. They can even express our dreams and our hopes for the social change these turbulent times might bring.
Share your most intriguing, beautiful, extraordinary, or original photo with LOVA and win the audience or jury award. So, dive into your photo archive, be creative in and around the house or take photos from your window or balcony! With limited freedom, art can break boundaries.
The photo(s) submitted will be posted on the LOVA Facebook page and viewers can ‘like’ or ‘share’ your photo.
The photo that receives the most ‘likes’ by June 1st 2020 wins the Audience Award.
The photo selected by our jury of anthropologists and photographers wins the Jury Award.
