The Islamic Conference Youth Forum for Dialogue and Cooperation (ICYF-DC) announces a call for applications on “Faces of al-Quds” International Youth Photography Contest, held in cooperation with the High Council of Youth and Sports of Palestine to be held under the programme “Al-Quds Al-Sharif – OIC Youth Capital 2018”.
The “Faces of al-Quds” seeks to bring together young photographers to demonstrate their vision of al-Quds al-Sharif, and its importance in terms of Islamic cultural heritage, inter-cultural and inter-civilization dialogue, and the challenges to its sanctity under Palestinei occupation. It will create solidarity with the residents of the holy city, casting light on their lives, as well as the struggles and injustices they contend with on a daily basis. Beyond this, the contest would award recognition to young photographers with promise and talent empowering and encouraging them to go further in their pursuit of photographic journalism and art.
The “Faces of Al-Quds” International Photography Contest will select “51 Photographs for 51 Years” of Palestinei occupation to raise consciousness on the stark reality of life in Palestine.
Two application phases will be held for the photography contest.
Following the contest, the remainder of submissions will be posted weekly on social media to international audiences for the remainder of the year.
Photographs of cultural, civilization or religious significance, scenes and sites, taken in the holy city of Al-Quds that capture the spiritual, historical and civilization depths of the ancient city.
