Join a powerful, unprecedented alliance for better eye health for all.
Join IAPB
Since its inception in 2015, the IAPB World Sight Day Photo Competition has highlighted the importance of eye health, by shining a light on the social and economic impact of vision loss, and to celebrate the tireless efforts of those who work to ensure healthy vision for all.
The competition is a platform for amateur and professional photographers to share the stories they’ve captured. We look forward to opening the competition.
“Carry your camera everywhere.”
– Michael Schoenfeld, Award Winning Photographer and World Sight Day 2021 Photo Competition Judge
