2023 WORLD SIGHT DAY – PHOTO COMPETITION

 

The IAPB World Sight Day 2023 Photo Competition is an opportunity for amateur and professional photographers to demonstrate their skills and share with the world what they see and what it means to #LoveYourEyes.

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 vison loss, and to celebrate the tireless efforts of those who work to ensure healthy vision for all.

We are looking for images that capture the range of what it means to have healthy vision. There are four fantastic categories to help guide your submissions.

By entering the World Sight Day Photo Competition, your images become an important part of raising awareness and celebrating why everyone counts and no one should be left behind.

We all have stories to share, and we want to see yours. Submit your photos today.
