The 2014 winning entry (Pic By Giordano Cipriani Survival International)

Survival International said it has launched another round of worldwide photography contest following the success of the first competition.

The NGO focusing on protecting rights of tribal people around the world stated that the competition aims to celebrate photography as a powerful medium for raising awareness of tribal peoples, their unique ways of life and the threats to their existence.

It said both amateur and professional photographers are encouraged to enter. Photographs can be submitted in categories on guardians: images showing tribal peoples as guardians of the natural world; community: portraits of relationships between individuals, families or tribes and Survival: images showing tribal peoples’ extraordinarily diverse ways of life.

“The twelve winning entries will be published in Survival’s 2016 calendar, with the overall winner’s image featuring on the cover.”

The judging panel includes Survival’s Director Stephen Corry, Survival Italy Coordinator Francesca Casella, The Little Black Gallery Co-Founder Ghislain Pascal, and Max Houghton (Senior Lecturer in Photography at the London College of Communication).

The closing date for entries is April 30, 2015.
