Worldwide photo competition to focus on new ways to portray gender

Photojournalists and amateur photographers can now submit images
that "challenge conventional understanding of `femininity'
and `masculinity' and help to break the mold of male-female `divide'"
to a photo competition.

The World Association for Christian Communication (WACC) is hosting
the photographic competition, "Portraying Gender." Winners will be
awarded cash prizes that range from US$500 (first prize) to US$200.

The competition is an effort of WACC in collaboration with the online
photo service Flickr. To be submitted, photos must be uploaded on
Flickr.

World AIDS Campaign: Participants for Youth Video Production Needed!

The World AIDS Campaign is producing a video about HIV and AIDS, human rights and young people as leaders. The concept for the video still needs to be decided. Since a video about young people should be made by young people themselves, WAC has created a blog (http://wacyouthvideo.wordpress.com) in which young people can:

- Brainstorm and decide the visual style and messages of the WAC video
and the best channels for distributing it
- Post their own short videos (made with cell phones) proposing concepts
for the WAC video
- Learn the basics of video making by discussing the cell phone videos
that everyone posts, and
- Agree upon the final concept for the WAC video.
