The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) Photographic Award 2015 is a celebration of artistic skill and outstanding photography which aims to draw attention to—and stimulate dialogue around—the global challenge of climate change.

ICC photo competition: #OurClimate
ICC photo competition: #OurClimate

The Award invites professional and amateur photographers from all over the world to submit applications reflecting on the theme of #OurClimate: from the causes and impacts of a changing climate, through to our response (past, present or future) to one of the biggest challenges facing humanity.

John Danilovich, ICC Secretary General said: “This is an exciting year to hold our inaugural Photographic Award. With over 100 photographers already entering this truly global competition, I look forward to the exhibition of works at our global headquarters during COP21.”

Mr Danilovich will chair a distinguished international jury which includes ICC Chairman Terry McGraw, UNFCCC Executive Secretary Christiana Figueres, British environmentalist David de Rothschild,
avant-garde artist Naziha Mestaoui, photojournalist Ami Vitale, and ITC Executive Director Arancha Gonzalez.
