Past opportunities
Competition | Food for Thought: Capturing the Big Picture
For World Food Day 2024, SCAF is inviting people from all ages across Scotland to capture perspectives about food, including its diversity, ramifications and its linkage to health, equity and/or sustainability, through photography, illustration or design.
SCAF is looking for entries (photographic images and designs) that depict the broad topic of food. We are welcoming, in particular, entries exploring collaboration and interdisciplinary perspectives on food, i.e. looking at food from different angles.
All selected designs will be integrated into our SCAF showcase and used across internal and external channels to capture the mission and aims of the alliance.
Create, Innovate, Participate!
