2021 competition

Overall winner

The winner of the 2021 Earth Photo competition is Rosie Hallam for her stunning triptych A Right to an Education depicting one family’s story: daughter Selamaw, the first person in her family to stay on at school past primary age, her mother Meselech, and finally her father Marco, who are all subsistence farmers participating in an education programme in Ethiopia.

These images exemplify hope and possibility, and were awarded for their sensitive portrait style, but also for trying to interpret the world with an eye towards positive change by raising awareness of the importance of literacy.

Education is both a basic human right and a smart investment. It is critical for development and helps lay the foundations for social wellbeing, economic growth and security, gender equality, and peace.
