What is it that makes the photo competition from the Container Shipping Information Service unique and special? It is a great effort to map the huge positive impact that a ubiquitous container has on our lives.
One of the judges of the competition, Nick Souza, an established US based professional photographer, mentions:

“As a global industry, container shipping can produce some amazing visuals. I know this having photographed the maritime sector for close to 13 years. What is particularly special about this competition is that because of the widespread usage of containers, the perfect shot could be well just around the corner. It is likely to be the simplest of shots, but one capturing the positive impact, which a container can have, will win the competition.”

Hurry up because the closing date is not far away (Friday 30th September). Here is some more information on the terms and conditions of the container photo competition:

•    A photograph should contain a visual reference to either the shipping container or to the impact that it has on our lives.
•    The photograph must unconditionally be snapped by you and not duplicated from another source.
