Climate change is an issue that has gained increasing coverage in the media over the past number of years.
It is a problem that we are all aware of; plaguing people's minds with questions such as 'How can we help?' and 'What can we do to change the detrimental pattern of human behaviour?'
But how would you, as a photographer, visually showcase the effects of climate change on our world?
Plan UK, one of the largest child-centred community development organizations in the world, is once again hosting their Shoot Nations photography competition.
This year's theme, Young People in a Changing Climate, allows young photographers to address the growing issue of climate change by shooting images that represent global warming in their lifetime.
The deadline for entries is July 31, still giving you time to produce and send in your images that best reflect this topic.
The aim of the competition is to get young photographers between the ages of 11 and 24 to think about climate change on three levels: How climate change is affecting your life, Act now - Be the change and Your world in the future.
"Shoot Nations enables the smallest family, community or environmental issue to reach the highest level of global governance," said the contests website, ShootNations.org.
The winning photographs will be presented as a light-box installation at the World Youth Congress, held in Quebec on August 12, and the young photographers will be in attendance to help celebrate International Youth Day 2008.
So get out your camera and start shooting!
For more information about Shoot Nations 2008 or to submit your entry visit http://www.shootnations.org/.
Good luck!

Get Prepared!
Getting prepared for your photo shoot can be a daunting task, but we have some tips to ensure the process is smooth and painless.
Before meeting with your photographer it is important that you know what you want. By knowing the message and feeling that you want people to take away from the image, you will have a better understanding of what the photographer will need to shoot.
Make a list of products or items that need to be photographed, making sure that you highlight the most important aspects of that product.
Make a note of the type of background or setting you would like to use, the time to shoot, if you need models and if so, are you going to use colleagues or friends or will you need the photographer to supply models? It is also important to have an idea about the type of clothing the models will need to wear to accurately convey your message.
Do you know what location you would like to shoot at? Do you need permission to shoot at that specific locale?
All of these aspects are important to figure out before you meet with your photographer.
Brett Gilmour Photography can help you to create the image that you are looking for by providing you with experience and expertise about what shots and environments are optimal for your project. When working with Gilmour Photography and his experienced staff you are provided with full support encompassing the planning, photography and delivery of print or electronic master images.
