2020 #Hope In Sight Winner – Amateur – Spreading Smiles, Fauzia Aziz with LRBT.

Entries are invited to the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB) World Sight Day 2021 Photo Competition, an annual event that highlights the importance of eye health, shines a light on the social and economic impact of vision loss, and celebrates the tireless efforts of those who work to ensure healthy vision for all.

Made possible with support from Bayer, this year’s competition invites professional and amateur photographers to submit their interpretation of the theme, #LoveYourEyes.

Expert Judging

The 2021 competition will be judged by a panel of five experts, each a leading voice in their field, and together representing diverse experience, expertise, and perspective.

“We are incredibly excited to bring this calibre of judging to our annual competition. They represent a diverse range of experience. Some of the best and brightest in the photography industry, individuals who are at the forefront of championing inclusion and equality and those who stand for professional excellence. We couldn’t be more pleased to introduce them to you,” said Joanna Conlon, Director of Development and Communications at IAPB.

  • Love your eyes – a picture capturing a subject(s) receiving eye health services or care.
  • Everyone counts – a portrait of an individual that demonstrates how each individual counts and has the right to be included.
  • Health for all – a picture capturing subjects delivering health services.
  • Hope – a picture that captures the magic of a moment and reminds us all that there is joy and hope for the future.

“Our hope is that the competition gives amateur and professional photographers an opportunity to share the stories they’ve captured. We invite everyone to get involved,” added Joanna Conlon.
