Extreme Heat Photo Contest opens for entries [Worldwide]

Photographers and visual storytellers around the world can enter a contest.

The contest seeks original, compelling photographs that capture the human, environmental and infrastructural impacts of extreme heat—as well as the creative strategies communities are using to stay safe and resilient.

Entries can be submitted in four categories: Heat Impacts on Human Health, Heat Impacts on Infrastructure and the Economy, Heat Impacts on the Environment and Animals, and Heat Resilience Strategies.

Winners will receive a photojournalism masterclass, a personalized certificate, a digital exhibit, and more.

The deadline is Aug. 29.
