A picture speaks a thousand words’ – so we are looking for photographs that can help us communicate CLTS and related areas visually. We are looking for photos that meet one or several of the following criteria: They

• depict the CLTS approach and/or show different types of CLTS activities,
• tell a story about what has happened as a result of CLTS,
• speak to one of the key issues and themes in CLTS, for example: sustainability, monitoring, verification, post-triggering follow up, Natural Leaders, SLTS, urban CLTS, equity and inclusion, etc
• illustrate related aspects of sanitation and hygiene, eg menstrual hygiene management, handwashing, etc

The winning entries will be published in a special feature on the CLTS website. Both winning and non-winning photos will be used on our website and in other published materials with full credit to the photographer, so by submitting an image you are giving us permission to use the photo in this way.

The judging
Photographs will be judged by the CLTS Knowledge Hub. They will be marked according to:

• Their content, i.e. their relevance to subject.
• Their ability to show aspects of and/or tell a story about CLTS as per the criteria listed above
