Professional and amateur photographers worldwide can participate in this contest.

The World Bank's program on inequality includes Picture Inequality, a photo contest inviting everyone ages 14 and up to submit work illustrating income and opportunity gaps in developing countries.

Photos can be creative and interpretive and may be taken anywhere in the developing world as long as the focus is inequality. The "developing world" is defined for purposes of this contest as countries that are eligible for World Bank aid and loans.

Participants may come from, or live, anywhere in the world as long as the submitted photo was taken in a country on this list of World Bank client countries 2012 (.pdf).

Winners will receive a US$500 digital camera and an opportunity to show their photo to the world. Prizes will be given to winning photo submissions in each age category, and from each geographical region as defined by the World Bank: Africa, East Asia/Pacific, Europe/Central Asia, Latin America/Caribbean, Middle East/North Africa, North America and South Asia.

Photo submissions must include a paragraph on how inequality can be addressed. Participants must also provide a photo caption (text) that describes and offers information about the photo.

The deadline is December 6.
