The deadline for submitting entries to the contest passed on 16 October and the photo contest is now closed. Three finalists have been selected by a jury of FAO staff and National Geographic.

From 31 October until 18 November, FAO Facebook fans will be able to choose their favourite photo by voting on the Facebook photo album. The photo that receives the most likes will win first prize, and second and third prize will be awarded successively.

By launching this photo contest, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) aims to raise awareness about the importance of nutrition. The images on the topic of nutrition, sent by participants from around the world, will help illustrate the importance of this key thematic area of FAO’s work.

The best three images will be awarded with prizes consisting of assignments with FAO for a photographic mission to an FAO project or office close to the residence of the awardee.
