The theme for the 2015 competition is “Animal health, beyond the cliché.”
In our modern world, the collective imagery all too often associates “animal health” with veterinary clinics or animal surgery on domestic animals.
Very few photos show the day-to-day prevention, surveillance, diagnosis and control activities carried out by animal health players in the field to safeguard animal health and feed populations worldwide. The winners of the OIE PHOTO COMPETITION 2015 will therefore be the photographers who best illustrate these activities, both artistically and in terms of representing the professional practice concerned.
Photos should highlight the human/animal interactions that typify the activities of animal health professionals, especially veterinary services. Photos illustrating the crucial collaboration between animal health players in the field,(veterinarians, farmers, researchers and others), as well as the links between public health and animal health, will be given preference when selecting the winners. The jury will also take into account the photo caption. The photographs selected by the jury will be very useful for globally promoting the benefits of Veterinary Services to the society.
