Applications are open for the Children’s Peace Image of the Year International Competition 2019. The competition is part of the Alfred Fried Photography Award, named after one of the first Nobel Peace Prize laureates.

The competition invites young people to submit their best picture on the theme of peace. What does peace look like? This is a very special question and everybody has very own ideas about it. All the more so today, when we see so much of violence and unrest. They say: Give your imagination free reign. Make your positive attitude visible in a photo. They want to see how you imagine peace. The best pictures will be exhibited. Across the world.
