FIRST PRIZE 10 SBD
SECOND PRIZE 5 SBD
Runners Up x 3 - 2SBD

Week one - Poverty.

Ends Sunday 1st October 2017 Midnight USA Pacific time. (GMT - 7)

The first week will allow a longer time scale to allow people to find this post and strart planning some photographs.

Social Commentary and making people think.

Sometimes when holding a camera there are moments when a picture can tell a story more than any words can. Any journalist or photojournalist will know this, especially in our digital age.

Some pictures have literally changed the world, most notably the photograph of the girl being Napalmed in Vietnam, or the more recent photograph of the dead baby washed up on shore.

Nowadays some big corporations try to get in on the act most famously with Pepsi's infamous Kendall Jenner advert.

Ahh, nice try Pepsi but you're fooling no-one.

Other contrasts we see may involve wealth juxtaposed against poverty, race issues, the environment or other issues.

I'm sure that a lot of Steemers may not be in agreement as to what the most important issues facing the human race in the 21st century, but most of us would agree that the mainstream narrative is not helping issues, and ignores many important things.

So I am proposing a weekly competition to offer up thought provoking images that may help change the world a little bit, and make people think .

I'm proposing the tag #ctwphoto Please add this as your first tag when creating your post. You can use photography or any other tags for the other four tags in your posts.

WEEK 1 - Poverty.

Anything that sends a message out about the effects of poverty.
