Adapt to Climate Change: acCLICKmatize

Tell us how the Philippines can adapt to climate change through your camera lenses. Capture ways on how the country can respond to the heightened risks of disasters brought about by intense atmospheric conditions.

acCLICKmatize is a photography contest open to amateur and professional photographers nationwide. At this time when the effects of natural calamities are so severe, adaptive measures that “can deliver benefits that are larger, with greater certainty, and much sooner” are necessary. Your photos can raise public awareness on how we can address the impacts of global warming. By taking part in the contest, you can promote best practices, build adaptive capacities, you may even save lives.

The contest runs from 17 January 2012 until 02 March 2012. The top three photos will be awarded cash, and 10 entries will be given consolation prizes. All the selected pictures will be on public exhibit. (See contest mechanics here.)

The Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom (FNF), a German liberal foundation, is spearheading the activity as part of its initiatives on the issue of climate change. The Office of the Presidential Adviser for Environmental Protection and the Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA) are co-organizing the event.
