World Indigenous Network photo competition – voting open now

After receiving more than 300 images from 36 countries around the globe it's time for you to help select the winners of the World Indigenous Network's photo competition.

The World Indigenous Network is supported by the Australian Government. It brings together land and sea managers to share stories, knowledge, cultural experiences and ideas to better manage ecosystems, protect the environment and support sustainable livelihoods.

The global photo competition showcases the work and experiences of Indigenous and local community land and sea managers across the world.

The theme is ‘through your eyes’ and each image tells a unique story of land and sea management, knowledge sharing, communities, families, youth and culture.

A panel of judges narrowed down the entries to 35 finalist photos. From here it’s up to you to vote for your favourite images online.

Anyone can vote and the winning photos will all be selected by people's choice.

The images are split into two categories, open and youth (for under 27s), and you can vote for as few or as many images as you like.

Voting will close on Tuesday 28 May with the winners being announced at the inaugural World Indigenous Network Conference being held in Darwin 26–31 May.

Key sessions of the World Indigenous Network Conference will be steamed online and information posted on the World Indigenous Network website.
