AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

India's census bureau launched a photography contest to show that the second most populous country in the world has "strength in numbers."

The Census 2011 photography contest, sponsored by the Census of India, seeks photos that are related to that theme. The aim of the contest is to show that India's population is not an obstacle to success, but in fact a plus.

At last head count, figures show India as the second most populous country in the world after China with over 1.18 billion people, more than a sixth of the world's population.

To enter, upload a photo on the Census of India Facebook page with a justification of how it relates to this theme.
