2024 Rest of World Photography Contest

AI tools helping students learn local languages in Mali schools. DIY e-bike batteries being built in Indonesian homes. Young creators sharing migration experiences on YouTube. From the ordinary to the exceptional, tech is everywhere, and it’s transforming lives in all corners of our planet. Here at Rest of World, we want to see all the ways in which tech is shaping your life, your community, and your country.

The annual Rest of World Photography Contest is back! This year, we want to see your images of technology’s impact and hear about the stories behind them, so we’re asking you to include a detailed description of the photograph you’re submitting, including where and when it was taken, and what we’re looking at. Help us understand the larger context in which the photograph you’re submitting shows technology’s impact in your community.

The contest is open to photographers of any skill level, living and working in any part of the world. Each photographer may enter a single image made within the last two years. The contest is open for entries until midnight GMT on November 30, 2024. Rest of World will review the submissions and select 10 images as finalists, which will be featured on our website. Of the final 10 images, the top three photographs will be chosen as winners. The first-place winner will be awarded a $1,000 cash prize. The second- and third-place winners will be awarded $750 and $500, respectively.
