SAFN is once again organizing a food/nutrition photo contest in celebration of Anthropology Day. If you have food anthropology related photos that you want to be famous, SAFN wants to hear from you! Our goal is to collect and recognize some of the best pictures that illustrate what anthropology can show about people, food, and the world, by publishing them here.
This is meant to be both a fun and creative opportunity for SAFN members to show off their skills. We will select at least 3 winners (who knows, maybe there will just be a slew of great submissions, in which case we reserve the right to select more winners) and put their photos up on the blog. We are looking for pictures that somehow connect with the idea of the anthropology of food and nutrition. Of course, that is very broad. We will favor photos that help us see the work and lives of people related to food.
Want to see who won in the past? The 2024 winners are here, here and here, 2023 winners are here, 2022 here and the 2021 winners here.
The deadline for submission is March 7, 2025. Send your photos to [email protected] with the subject line “anthro day photos.” (It is essential you do that so that your emails get properly sorted.)
Photos will be judged by a group of SAFN board members. The winners will be posted to the blog as soon as possible after the deadline.
The award is the glory of having your photos posted on this site. You must be a member of SAFN to be eligible to win this contest (membership is very affordable, especially for students, so join us!). All photos must be original work and you must have rights to use the photos. We will accept individual photos or a group as an entry (please indicate if you mean for the group to be a series that goes together). Using the photos must not infringe on any other person or organization’s trademark, copyright, moral or intellectual rights, or privacy. You must submit a caption with the photo, indicating the subject, authorship, date, and any other relevant information for the blog.
NOTE: SAFN board members are not eligible to participate…we need you to help judge the contest.
