Photo Call – Gender Equality in the Arctic Phase III Report & Website

The GEA III Team is looking for images for the publication of the GEA Pan-Arctic Report, GEA promotional materials and GEA website. We welcome images depicting the Arctic, highlighting its people to add to the GEA Report’s chapters: Empowerment, Environment, Law and Governance, Migration and Mobility, Security, and Violence and Reconciliation.

When submitting photos depicting people please always make sure to include contact information of those depicted in the photo so we can – if we decide to use it – contact the persons in question for permission of use.  

Although we are not able to pay for images, we of course credit photographers and can provide a printed version of the report, should that be requested. With each photo submission, GEA requires:

For print, the image quality must be around at least 3500x2500 pixels (300 dpi).

Please note: if we do not receive the information from Google form, we cannot use your pictures.

If you have questions write to Andrii Gladii at ag@arcticiceland.is

Thank you to all those who make the effort to send in photos. We may receive more photographs than we can use and therefore have to make a selection based on quality, as well as geographical and thematic representation. We only notify the photographers whose contributions are selected for publication.
