If you have not entered the Snapping Cities competition, why don’t you give it a go! In August, the Mo Ibrahim Foundation launched the “Snapping Cities” photography competition. They have received a range of entries with a wide range of subject and styles, with photographers and members of the public engaging with the ‘African Cities’ topic showcasing interesting and dynamic city challenges through images.
Need some inspiration; photographic entries must capture: A challenge facing your city
These photographs could be related to areas such as:
• Housing
• Water and Sanitation
• Population growth and movement
• Transport
• Informal Settlements
• Housing
• Water and Sanitation
• Population growth and movement
• Transport
• Informal Settlements
How your city is overcoming these challenges?
These photographs should capture how these challenges are being addressed. Images can answer some of the following questions:
• How has your city progressed over the last few years (housing, water and sanitation etc.)?
• Are there new and interesting solutions (mixed housing development, innovative business solutions, waste treatment solutions, water provision solutions etc.)?
• Are people finding their own innovative ways to address challenges that are not met by local government?
