DEADLINE: GHHIN/EJN Extreme Heat Photo Contest

The Global Heat Health Information Network, in partnership with Internews’ Earth Journalism Network (EJN), is launching a global photography competition to showcase the real impacts of extreme heat, and the ways communities around the world are responding to it.

Heat is a silent killer, and it remains largely invisible and misunderstood. Our Network invites photographers and visual storytellers from around the world to help us change that.

This competition 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.

Categories:

• Heat Impacts on Human Health
• Heat Impacts on Infrastructure & the Economy
• Heat Impacts on the Environment & Animals
• Heat Resilience Strategies

While organization rules prohibit monetary prizes, we are offering educational, networking and publication opportunities to contest winners and finalists, who will have their work reach real decision-makers working to address the rising risks of heat to our health. The overall winner and winners for each category will receive a photojournalism masterclass, an Internews’ Earth Journalism Network feature, a digital exhibit and more.

Deadline: August 29, 2025
