Together with the UN Mission of the Maldives and the Global Risk Forum Davos, the British Council is inviting young people from around the world to take part in Turning the Tide, a major international exhibition showcasing photographs and stories on the human impact of climate change.

We ask young climate witnesses from around the world to go out into their community to create a photographic record of the way in which climate change and its consequences are affecting the human environment, including the lives, livelihoods and human rights of local people. "Turning the Tide" is about your own experiences - we want to know your climate story.

If you would like to enter the competition you must be between the age of 16 and 25. By 31st January 2009 we ask you to provide a series of 10-15 photographs showing the effects of climate change in your community.

For information on how to enter, please visit the Turning the Tide page.
