To enter you must be aged between 11 – 25. Deadline is on 31 July. This is a free to enter competition and is open to young people worldwide.
Entrants are being asked to submit up to 3 of either photographs, drawings or graphic designs that cover the following briefs:
- Because I am a girl
- Because I am a boy

- What could I be?
The submissions must include a brief explanation on why each photo demonstrates the photographer’s feelings towards growing up in the 21st century.
Those selected will then have their work displayed at the United Nations headquarters, New York, in time for International Youth Day 2009 on 12 August, as well as other sites globally.
