Caritas Malta is holding a photographic competition under the patronage of the Malta Photographic Society on the occasion of the European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion.

The competition, with the theme ‘Stop Poverty Act Now’ (Ilqa’ l-Isfida: Ġib il-Faqar fix-Xejn), is open to all Maltese residents and closes on September 23.

Application forms and conditions of entry are available at leading photography shops, Caritas Malta and the Malta Photographic Society. The competition is being sponsored by Actavis.

This event should encourage photographers to bring hidden poverty in Malta to light. Prizes and certificates will be awarded to the overall winner and to the next best entries in the colour and monochrome categories.

An exhibition of accepted entries is planned.

This event is part of Caritas Malta’s campaign to raise awareness of poverty and social exclusion with a view to action being taken by all concerned to continually reduce the incidence of poverty.

It gives an opportunity to photographers to show solidarity, through their talents, with people in difficulty.
