The ILO International Migration Programme has launched the Photo contest « Migrant Domestic Workers in Europe » to show how migrant domestic workers in Europe successfully integrate into the workplace and social life.

Participants from 18 years old, residing in Europe, are invited to take pictures that capture migrant domestic workers in the work environment (which is most often their employer’s homes), in society, or in their own homes. The pictures should bring about a positive image of domestic work and migration and demonstrate the character and resilience of these workers.

Participants can submit up to a maximum of three photos per person (up to 5 MB in size, at least 6 megapixels), taken by them, in Europe, and within the last two years.
Entries should include the title, date of shot, location and caption, of maximum 100 words, explaining what the picture portrays, in one of the 3 official ILO languages (English, French, or Spanish).

A panel of judges will select up to 20 photographs for exhibition on the ILO website and at a conference in Brussels, as well as the top three photos to be awarded:
– 1st Prize: EUR 1,000
– 2nd Prize: EUR 600
– 3rd Prize: EUR 400

Deadline: was 30 April 2013 at 23:59 (European Central Time).

We will keep you informed when a new call is published.
