As part of their partnership with EPOTY, MPB also sponsors the Vision of the Future competition category. If you have inspiring and thought-provoking interpretations of our future environment, this is the category under which to submit them. We’re looking for photos that tell a compelling narrative to educate, spread hope, or inspire action. Artistic and creative representations are encouraged.
Rachel Thompson (VP, Sustainability) commented on the news: “Sustainability and the environment are core to MPB’s own purposeful mission so we are proud to be supporting EPOTY for the first time. Visual storytelling is a powerful force which can bring awareness to the critical environmental issues facing our planet. EPOTY provides a global platform for both amateur and professional photographers to tell these important stories, reinforcing the urgent need for action and helping to inspire change.”
