Within the framework of the international photography project “Children’s Eyes on Earth” (literally “The Earth Through the Eyes of Children”), implemented under the patronage of Leyla Aliyeva, Vice-President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, founder and head of IDEA Public Union, and at the initiative of Reza Deghati, founder of “Reza Visual Academy” association and internationally renowned photographer, a national photo contest named “FotoBax” is being launched in Azerbaijan.
This was reported to “Elchi” by the IDEA Public Union.
It was stated that the contest, organized in partnership with the IDEA Public Union, is dedicated to the theme “I Love Nature – Azerbaijan”. The contest officially begins on March 23, 2026. Applications will be accepted until September 21.
It should be noted that the contest, intended for children and teenagers under 18, will cover the spring and summer seasons. Participants are invited to capture Azerbaijan’s rich nature, including its forests, rivers and lakes, flora and fauna, through their lenses.
The aim of the contest is to support young photographers, create creative opportunities for them, and at the same time strengthen environmental awareness among children and teenagers. Through the contest, children will have the opportunity to express their relationship with nature, as well as their views on the importance of environmental protection, through the language of photography.
The “Children’s Eyes on Earth” initiative, implemented in partnership with the IDEA Public Union, is carried out by Reza Deghati and aims to showcase children’s perspective on the environment through photography. The internationally held project has so far brought together over 7000 photographs from more than 100 countries.
