The Asia-Pacific Network for Global Change Research (APN) is currently inviting entries from the amateur photographers, media practitioners and professional photographers for the L. B. Brown Memorial Photo Contest in course of celebrating International Mountain Day, designated by the United Nations General Assembly on 11 December.

- Photos showing traditional or innovative activities to conserve or sustainably utilise mountain resources and products.
Prize
