 The WACC Photographic Competition 2009 has been launched. The competition, in its sixth year, is being run on Flickr  for the fourth time!

This year’s theme is “portraying gender”. Photographers are invited to submit photos that portray women or men in ways that offer new perceptions about their roles and responsibilities. Such photos challenge conventional understandings of ‘femininity’ and ‘masculinity’ and help break the mould of the male-female ‘divide’.

This popular event brings together hundreds of photographers from around the world with each photo on the subject of communication. Last year’s theme was Women’s communication rights. The winning photo, above, was submitted by Leslie Knott. It presents a journalist in Maimana, Afghanistan conducting an interview for her program on agriculture on Radio Quyaash, an independent women-managed radio station.
