TRUST Photo Competition 2023

In collaboration with Sport4Impact, we are launching our third TRUST - Sport as it Should Be photo competition.

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?
A picture paints a thousand words, and we are looking for photos that talk to what sport should be.
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. 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.

Important Dates
The final date for entries is the 20th of March 2023.
The winners will be announced and showcased on the 31st March 2023 at the Sport4Impact International Conference, which coincides with our home university's (MTU) March Month of Enterprise.
