GRI extends Sustainability Image Competition to June 30th. Last chance to submit your images!

How do you picture sustainability?

GRI is gearing up for the launch of its new website within the coming months. The new website will cater to the needs of GRI’s audience and greatly improve user experience for both first time and more advanced reporters. A key feature of the new site will be its images - provided by the winners of GRI’s Image competition.

The competition is open to all artists and photographers to create compelling, engaging images related to sustainability. Images should also demonstrate varied perspectives, from business to interpersonal actions to exploring cultural diversity. Entrants may work with a variety of media, and can submit work of any size, from photo-essays to a single image that captures their personal take on sustainability.

“GRI’s mission is to mainstream sustainability reporting. Part of this involves communicating to different audiences about how organizations can face the sustainability challenges the world is facing. Images give a new dimension to this communication and help people to understand the relevance and importance of sustainability reporting. The competition gives GRI’s network a chance to support our mission and highlight their own view of sustainability,” said Crystal Crawford, GRI's Senior Communications Coordinator.

New photographs are important to GRI but it is not just a photography competition. Entrants may work with a variety of media, and can submit work of any size, from photo-essays to a single image that captures their personal take on sustainability. Sustainability is the overall theme but the interpretation is all yours!
