Malaria: The BIG Picture

The Swiss Malaria Group hosts an online photo contest

Malaria affects the lives of millions across the world. The Swiss Malaria Group* online photo contest seeks to highlight the realities of those living at risk of malaria and the work of those dedicated to changing that reality.

The contest is open to all. Send in your photos and captions that tell a story about malaria between 15 February and 24 March via the online platform: www.malariaphotos.org, where you will find details of the three submission categories. The public will then vote on the finalists and a panel of expert judges select the winners.

The lucky winners – fifteen photographers from around the world – will be announced on the 22^nd of April. The prizes include three brand new Fuji cameras (first prizes) or one of a series of cash prizes. In addition, the winning photographs will be posted in an online exhibition for the world to see in time for World Malaria Day on the 25^th of April.
