Photography Celebration 2024:

#LookingBackToHerFuture 

 

To commemorate International Women’s Day, we are inviting Women in Law to share a photograph and short story of a pivotal moment in their career. This could be an opportunity to highlight achievements, challenges overcome, or moments of empowerment. By showcasing these stories and images, we aim to celebrate the diversity, resilience, and contributions of women in law, inspiring future generations and fostering a more inclusive and equitable legal community. 

10 entrants will be selected for a full portrait (possibly revisiting the location where the original photograph was taken) and an interview to be included in a future Next 100 Years campaign that celebrates how women in the legal profession have achieved success.

Deadline:

8 March 2024 – 8 May 2024

Eligibility:

  • Open to Women in Law.
  • Participants must practise in the UK and be above the age of 18.

    Terms & Conditions:

    By submitting photos, you are agreeing that you own the copyright to the images and they are your own work. Whilst the copyright remains with the photographer, participants grant The Next 100 Years the right to use the submitted photograph and story for promotional, commercial, non-commercial and educational purposes, including but not limited to online and offline publications, social media, and exhibitions. Appropriate credits will be given to the participants.

    By submitting the photograph you are also indicating that all people in the image have agreed to be included in this competition and understand what the end use is likely to be. Please also ensure that there are no confidential elements in your photos, or other aspects that may compromise your employer.
