Applications
are open for the UNESCO Youth Eyes on the Silk Roads Photo Contest
2019. The annual Youth Eyes on the Silk Roads International Photo
Contest offers an exciting opportunity for young people from all over
the world to capture their understanding of the common heritage of the
Silk Roads through the lens of their camera.

The
Silk Roads are an expansive region composed of a network of maritime
and land routes. Originating in East Asia, South Asia, and Southeast
Asia the Silk Roads cross the Central Asian sub-continent, the Russian
steppe, the Iranian and Anatolian plateaus, and the Arabian Peninsula.
They also stretch through North Africa and Northeast Africa, from
Tanzania to Morocco. Additionally, they pass through Eastern and
Southern Europe, before reaching France and Spain.
The
Youth Eyes on the Silk Roads Photo Contest is an opportunity for young
people living or travelling within these regions to share their
perceptions and further their understanding of the common cultural
heritage and pluralistic identities emerging from the interactions and
exchanges taking place along the Silk Roads. The contest encourages the
use of photography to extend these cultural interactions and encounters
in the contemporary world, to foster mutual understanding and promote
peace amongst the diverse populations encompassed by the Silk Roads.
The
contest is divided into two age categories: 14-17 year olds, and 18-25
year olds. Participants are invited to submit photographs that best
encapsulate the shared heritage of the Silk Roads through one or more of
the three themes of Gastronomy and Food Production, Traditional Sports
and Games, and Music and Dance.
