Shoot Nations is an annual, global photography project including a competition, workshops and exhibitions on various continents. Each year focuses on a different global issue and the photographs produced are presented in an official ceremony to the United Nations in New York each year.
2010 was a fantastic year for the project with workshops and exhibitions in London, Liverpool, Dakar (Senegal) and Cartagena (Colombia). A group of young people also presented the winning photos to Ban-Ki Moon at the United Nations headquarters in New York to celebrate the launch of the International Year of Youth.
In 2010 Shoot Nations was a One World Media finalist
