TRUST Photo Competition 2022

We know that sport should be fun, fair, safe, clear and accessible to all, yet some people can access their rights in and through sport easily, others face barriers.

What is the TRUST Photo competition?
The UNESCO Chair at MTU and global partners are working to ensure sport is accessible to all.

As a picture is a thousand words, we want photos that talk to that mission.

Amateur and professional photographers can show us what “human rights in and through sport” means through an image.

Who can participate?
Everyone! The competition is open to people of all ages globally, amateur and professional. We welcome entries from rightsholder groups, including people with disabilities; women and girls; Travellers and ethnic minorities; the LGBTQI+ community; asylum seekers, refugees, and migrants; indigenous communities and other disadvantaged or marginalised communities.

Timeline?
The closing date is the 2nd of January 2022. The winners will be announced and showcased on the 20th January 2022 at the Expo2020 Dubai and during UNESCO Chair MTUs March Month of Enterprise.
