Children ages eight-to-17 years are
encouraged to take photos representing human rights and enter them for the
Human Rights Day celebrations in early December.
One entry per person is allowed in
the CI-See You competition. The photos
must be original images taken in the Cayman Islands by the young person. Entries will be judged in three age groups:
eight-to-11 years, 12-to-14 years, and 15-to-17 years.
The photos will be judged on
creativity and how well they show the messages of human rights, freedom and
social responsibility. All children’s human
rights include their right to freedom, family, religion, education, nutrition
and health.
There will be an overall best photo
winner, as well as two honourable mentions in each age group. Prizes will be awarded on Friday, 10
December, at the Human Rights Music and Arts Show at Camana Bay.
Each overall best photo winner will
receive a $50 gift certificate and each honourable mention will receive a $25
gift certificate. The photographs will
also be published in local media and displayed at locations throughout Cayman,
as well as posted on the Human Rights Commission website.
The deadline for photo submissions
is Friday, 3 December. Winners will be
notified on Wednesday, 8 December. Each
submission must include the photographer’s name, age, e-mail address and phone
number, as well as the photo title, and a description of the subject area (such
as human rights, freedoms or responsibilities).
The digital photographs should be between 2MB and 3MB in size.
Photos can be submitted by
e-mailing them to [email protected] or by mailing them to the Human Rights
Commission, c/o Commissions Secretariat, PO Box 391, Grand Cayman KY1-1106; or
delivering them to the Human Rights Commission, c/o Commissions Secretariat,
Smith Road Centre, 2nd Floor, George Town, Grand Cayman.
