| Plan UK’s Shoot Nations project is back for 2008 |
| Shoot Nations is a free global youth photography competition. It is open to anyone aged 11-24 from anywhere in the world. Shoot Nations gives young people the chance to express their opinions through visual communication – you do not need language or education to take or draw a picture. |

Last year the competition received over 1500 entries from 85 countries. Over 4500 people attended exhibitions of Shoot Nations photographs on four different continents, and 200 young people participated in photography workshops. We hope this year will be even bigger and better. The 2008 theme is "Young People in a Changing Climate", a global issue directly affecting us all. The strength of the project comes from young people all over the world getting involved. You do not need to be a photographer to take part. Shoot Nations is open to everyone! Take three photographs or draw three pictures that capture the following:
The Shoot Nations website is live in five languages, and is open until 31 July. The best entrants will be in with the chance to win a trip to Quebec and be exhibited at the World Youth Conference as part of International Youth Day 2008. There will also be a UK exhibition of the images at the OXO gallery on the South Bank from 12-19 August. There are a wealth of UK learning resources to accompany the project, for geography, citizenship and media studies. Follow the links to access the resources: A Shoot Nations Workshop Toolkit is available to enable people anywhere to run their own exhibition and workshop.
