Part of this event is a photovoice competition that aims to raise the voices of young scientists to advocate for food innovative ideas that will shape the post-pandemic world.
Young Scientists Photovoice Competition
We invite young scientists (undergraduate and postgraduate students in agriculture, food science, nutrition and related fields) worldwide to a photovoice recording of innovation(s) required in a post-pandemic global food system to ensure a more sustainable and food-secure environment. Proposed submissions must address one or more of the four pillars of food security: availability, access, utilization, and stability.
An international team of judges will assess submissions based on relevance to the symposium's theme, how innovative the proposed idea is, creativity, and overall artistic and visual impression. The photovoice presentation will consist of one slide and a maximum duration of three minutes. Click here to apply to the Photovoice Competition.
The deadline for submission is September 23, 2023, 11:59 EST. Three (3) finalists will be selected to receive award certificates and cash prizes. The winners will be announced during the Symposium on September 28, 2023, and their photovoice entries will be posted on the IUFOST website.
