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!

Good luck!
