The Pacific Arts Alliance

The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) has launched a Climate change photo competition so people world wide can visualise what Pacific islanders are up against.

There are five different categories for which it is hoped the entry images will portray.  These categories are; the fragile beauty of the Pacific islands, Impacts of climate change, Adaptation to climate change, Pacific islands biodiversity; Pacific peoples and cultures.

The Pacific islands are on the front line of the impacts of climate change and by capturing images that show any of the five categories, share the challenges we face with the rest of the world.

SPREP’s Pacific Year of Climate Change Campaign Coordinator Ewan Cameron is encouraging Pacific islanders to enter and show the World how climate change is impacting their communities.

The deadline for all entries is 1 September 2009, and all photo entries must have been taken in any Pacific islands country or territory between 1 January and 30 August, 2009.

For more information and an entry form, please visit the SPREP website .
