Joanna Conlon, Director of Development and Communications, IAPB announced that the competition received 1200 photos from 89 countries and 200 organisations.
The shortlisted photos were displayed at the Durban International Convention Centre—the 10GA venue–and at the IAPB ‘knowledge pavilion’ in the 10GA Exhibition area. Delegates at 10GA voted for the winner on an interactive touch screen at the Pavilion.
