UNDP (United Nations Development Programme) launches “We Can End Poverty” photo contest. Antonio Banderas judge: winning images to be exhibited during world leaders Millennium Development Goals Summit in September. This appeared in the Guyana Chronicle dated May 18.
After reading this publication, I thought that this would be an ideal forum to join with the rest of the world and make a contribution on behalf of Guyana. At the same time, I honestly feel that this is my Olympic Run in competition with the rest of the globe. Win or lose, we were represented.
The three categories I submitted images towards are as follows:
– Promote gender equality and empower women
– Reduce child mortality
– Ensure environmental sustainability
From over three thousand images and after the short listing process was done, the present count for voting and judging now stands at 2,621and the last I checked, Guyana is very much in the running.
Voting runs from August 1-15 and judging from August 16-September 3, 2010.
I now call on the public for five minutes of your precious time and cast your votes towards the images on Guyana and this goes towards the People’s Choice Award.
Visit the following sites for viewing of the images and voting:
