Your Sustainability Stories – Photo & Video Storytelling Competition

Tying in with the International Year of Creative Economy for Sustainable Development 2021 as declared by the UN General Assembly, United Nations University (UNU-FLORES) and the Technische Sammlungen Dresden invite professional and amateur photographers and videographers to submit their best shots in advocacy of the Resource Nexus and sustainability.

Photographers and videographers of all levels are welcomed to submit photos and videos accompanied by their respective stories/descriptions (up to 400 words) that relate to the Resource Nexus and one or more of the following themes:

• Agriculture
• Forests
• Circular Economy
• Climate Change
• Biodiversity

The term “nexus” in Latin describes the act of tying together or something which binds. The Resource Nexus looks at the synergies and tradeoffs between the managing of different environmental resources to achieve a net positive outcome. When discussing the Resource Nexus for sustainable development, we are keen to see how such a concept would benefit different areas from agriculture to the preservation of biodiversity.

Judging criteria:
• Relevance to themes (30%)
• Originality and creativity (30%)
• Inspirational power or potential social impact (40%)

  1. Interesantă tematica concursului. Sunt pro eco-bio etc. și e minunat că se atrage atenția asupra problemei, dar nu mă aștept ca o fotografie despre agricultură, de exemplu, să-mi taie răsuflarea. 🙂 Dar vedem…
    Btw, m-am apucat să citesc, mult timp nici nu mi-am dat seama că textul nu-i în română 🙂 , dar dacă blogul tău este în română, de ce n-ai făcut un rezumat al celor de mai sus în limba maternă. Dacă este vreun agricultor pasionat de fotografie, care ar putea participa la concurs, dar care nu înțelege engleza? 🙂

  2. @Jo – initial am vrut sa fac rezumatul de care spui tu, dar pina la urma am ajuns la concluzia ca mai bine sa invatam cu totii o limba straina, caci Globalizarea ne sufla in ceafa chiar si acum cand stam mai mult pe acasa!
    Sau sa folosim programe de traducere. Chiar si Google Translate este destul de util.

  3. Google translate e doar orientativ. Nu m-aș baza pe el pentru o chestie importantă.
    Dar dacă globalizarea de care zici presupune limba engleză, pe care o cunosc deja, nu mai zic nimic. 🙂
