What
message or image resonates in your mind (and camera!)
when you
think of peace?
The International Women’s Development Agency’s
(IWDA) inaugural
Women’s Eye on Peace photography exhibition
attracted over 400 images
from 16 countries. All funds raised from the exhibition
funded a
peace-building forum for Afghan refugees in Pakistan
in 2004.
IWDA, in association with Marie Claire and AusAid,
are currently
planning Women’s Eye on Peace II, a photography
exhibition that calls
for submissions from both amateur and professional
female
photographers from all corners of the globe. The
photographs must
respond to the question: How do you see peace?
The call for entries will be closing on 31 July
2006 and the exhibition
opening will be held in Melbourne on the 31 of
October 2006 to coincide
with the anniversary of the passing of the United
Nations Security
Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security.
AusAid, and Marie Claire have confirmed sponsorship
for this event,
and members of the judging panel include Jackie
Frank, editor-in-chief
of Marie Claire Australia, Naomi Cass and Sandra
Bardas from the
Centre for Contemporary Photography and Dr. Suzette
Mitchell,
executive director of the International Women’s
Development Agency.
All funds raised from this year’s exhibition
will go towards IWDA’s work with women working
towards peace.
Deadline: The closing date for entries
is 31 July 2006.
