Your photos showcase palliative care practices and experiences around the world, inspiring and informing the global IAHPC community. The IAHPC Photo Contest is yet another opportunity for your colleagues and others to see the palliative care community in action.
The prizes:
- a one-year free IAHPC membership extension plus cash for the top 3 photos (1st place: $500 USD, 2nd place: $300 USD, 3rd place: $200 USD).
- a one-year membership extension for the five runners-up from each WHO region: Africa (AFRO), the Americas (PAHO), Eastern Mediterranean (EMRO), Europe (EURO), South-East Asia (SEARO), and Western Pacific (WPRO)
- those who send photos that follow the rules & the "What not to send" guidelines below receive a three-month extension of their IAHPC membership
The deadline to submit your photos is October 31, 2025.
Your photos can depict activities that support one of IAHPC’s four thematic areas of work: advocacy, education, research, and information dissemination.
These include palliative care-related activities such as patients receiving care, clinicians in a consultation, volunteers helping patients, caregivers providing care, pharmacists preparing or dispensing medications, students learning, activities surrounding palliative care legislation or regulations, and community members conducting advocacy campaigns, to name just a few.
What not to send: Images created using AI, photos that you have not personally taken, group photos of people posing in rows, photos with no people, or headshots (such as passport photos). Do not superimpose words on your photos, or submit screenshots or collages.
The rules
- IAHPC members in good standing are eligible. Not a member? Join IAHPC now! (IAHPC directors, officers, and staff cannot participate.)
- You must have taken the photos yourself.
- You can submit up to 3 photos (high resolution, 1920 x 1080 pixels or more preferred).
- Photos taken prior to this announcement may be submitted. However, photos submitted to IAHPC's previous photo contests are not eligible.
- You must have the permission of people who can be identified in the photo. Photos of people taking part in public events are an exception: they do not require permission.
How to submit your photos
Use our media release form and, if children can be identified, the form for minors. Be sure to include a description of each image, and check the box stating that "This photo is a submission for the IAHPC Photo Contest."
Any photos submitted may be featured in IAHPC's Pallinews, in its literature, or on its website. The IAHPC may contact applicants for more details about their photos.
