The competition is seeking pictures from young Sub-Saharan African photographers of all abilities, ages 18 – 30, capturing through their own lenses the opportunities and challenges facing Sub-Saharan Africa. All contestants—whether they use cameras or cell phones—are asked to submit original images that best define one of the following three themes.
Themes
African Economic Development
African Innovations
African Challenges
Categories
Snapshot category (low-resolution images)

In regards to prizes, two winners will be awarded a 3 day all expense paid trip to Maputo, Mozambique. The winners will also be rewarded with the opportunity to attend the #AfricaRising Conference and act as the IMF Youth Photographer,
All submissions must be made by April 25th, 2014 and the winner will be announced May 12, 2014. For more information, go to; http://africarising.strutta.com/#box-details.
