History
The Democracy Photo Challenge is part of the global Democracy is… conversation that leverages social networks and creative challenges to allow people around the world to share, consider, debate, and learn from diverse perspectives on democracy. The Democracy Photo Challenge was inspired by the Democracy Video Challenge, an annual contest launched in 2008 asking the world’s citizens to complete the phrase “Democracy is…” through short online videos.
