The Council of Europe has extended the deadline for the photo and video competition Human Rights, Camera, Action! aimed at young people, inviting them to use their smartphones or digital cameras to convey a creative vision of human rights in Europe through a photograph or short video. Prize winners will get a paid trip to Strasbourg and their entries will be exhibited at the Council of Europe’s headquarters. The photos and videos will also be published on the organisation’s websites and promoted on social media.
“With so many challenges in the world today, we want to know what human rights mean to you and see those rights through your eyes. Send us your vision of human rights today in any of the four categories: photographs, videos, AI-generated photos, or AI-generated videos. Get creative, and good luck!”, said the Deputy Secretary General, Bjørn Berge in a video message.
The competition is organised under the Lithuanian Presidency of the Committee of Ministers (May-November 2024) and winners will be announced in autumn 2024.
