Are you a professional, occasional or ‘wannabe’ photographer? Are you a soil scientist, an environmentalist, an activist, or just a fan who would like to improvise him/herself as a photographer for one day? Join the contest and send in your photographs that will compete for public voting on the FAO website and winners announced on the World Soil Day 2023.

Special prizes for the winners are up for grab!
