The YRE Competition Australia follows the international guidelines. The International Competition accepts submissions from three different media categories; articles, photographs, and videos.



Environmental Campaign Photo
The Environmental Campaign photo should raise awareness of an issue, promote certain values and/or inspire positive action. The photograph can be staged, and the subject can be posed with the intention of sending a message to the viewers.
Photo Story (3 to 5 Photographs)
Tell a story through a series of photographs to help the viewer better understand environmental issues, events or phenomena. Like single photo reportage, a photo sory aims to tell a truthful and accurate story through a series of candid photos.


Environmental Campaign Video
An Environmental Campaign video aims to raise awareness of an issue, promote certain values and/or inspire positive action through live images. The campaign story can be staged with the intention of sending a message to the viewers.
