Would you like to do something positive this summer?

A friend asked me to put that one up:

Join a photo competition!

Young & Equal, a new youth network for gender equality run by a group of very enthusiastic young people from Caucasus, Central Asia, Russia, Afghanistan and Eastern Europe, invites you to join a photo competition called

“INEQUALITY BETWEEN MEN and WOMEN AS SEEN BY YOUTH”

Photographs submitted to the competition will be displayed at least in four major cities of the regions where Young & Equal are represented in fall 2004, as well as on the website of Young & Equal.

The author of the best work will be awarded a digital camera.

CRITERIA:

You must be 14 to 28 years old, live in Caucasus, Central Asia, Russia, Afghanistan or Eastern Europe.

Residents of other regions are welcome to participate - your entries will be displayed, but will not be eligible for competition.

Entries will be selected on the basis of their originality, creativity and impact.
