Photographers are invited to submit photos that «reflect and celebrate the importance of biodiversity to people everywhere» to an annual photo competition, which will gather photos from around the world on the theme of «Biodiversity Lost, Biodiversity Preserved.» Deadline for submissions is April 1.

The competition, held by Friends of the Earth International, seeks to capture what is being lost, and what the natural world provides.

The competition is free and open to everyone. Young people, women, and people living in the developing world are encouraged to enter.

The best shots, both winning and non-winning, will be featured in a series of materials that will launch in conjunction with the 2010 UN International Year of Biodiversity, including a calendar and an international photo exhibition.

The judges will choose a total of 12 winning photographs as well as three «popular choice» photos per category. The winning photos will be announced in mid-April.

First place photos will receive EU?400 (US$513); second place, EU?200 (US$256); and third place, EU?100 (US$128).
