World #NTD Day 2027 #Photo #Competition   From #art to #photography: After a successful launch of an NTD Art Competition last year, we are thrilled to announce this year’s NTD Photo Competition!   #NTDs affect over 1 billion people worldwide and they can be found in every region of the world.   From #Africa to the #Americas, from #Europe to the Eastern #Mediterranean, from Southeast #Asia to the Western #Pacific: Under the motto NTDs Through the Lens: Stories of Risk, Resilience and Response we want to see NTDs through your eyes and understand what they mean to you and how they affect you.   No matter if you are a person affected by NTDs, if you are living in an endemic region for specific NTDs or whether you see them through the microscope in your lab: Everyone is welcome to join! This competition is meant to show how we are all #connected by the topic of NTDs.   Send us your photograph by October 25. An interdisciplinary jury will choose one winner photo per each of the 6 #WHO regions. These 6 photos will enter an online voting process, to determine the final winner.   The 6 winners will receive #prize money and their photos, as well as other chosen photos from the submissions, are planned to be shown in a photo book and/or exhibitions for World NTD Day 2027.   You can find more information here: https://lnkd.in/ekWZ3hFV The competition is organised by: tropmed-DTG, #IFOTRODE, Canadian Network for Neglected Tropical Diseases / Réseau Canadien pour les MTNs and Elysium Noma Survivors Association The competition is supported by: Andreas Ruppel Fund and #FESTMIH.
