With vast natural resources to support its food systems, livelihoods, markets and growing young population, Africa has an unprecedented opportunity to restore its degraded landscapes, cater to the needs of its people and pave a sustainable way forward for all of humanity.
Global Landscapes Forum is thrilled to announce the launch of the GLF Africa 2024 Photography Awards. Whether you’re a professional or amateur photographer, they would love to see your photos showcasing the continent’s vast landscapes in all their grandeur.
They want to show the world stunning images of Africa’s diverse peoples and their way of life across its various landscapes. So, get your cameras ready and snap your best shots of tropical forests, grasslands, drylands, peatlands, wetlands, the ocean and coasts – and African livelihoods.
