A photography and video competition, titled Peace on Earth, is being organised to mark International Peace Day on September 21. The competition will be a nation-wide peace video and photography contest which urges photographers from all over the country to put forth their world views on peace.

We are looking for submissions that are creative, backed up with a strong story, and establishes peace as the backbone of development,” Ayush Joshi, communications coordinator at Search for Common Ground, the organisers.

He also added that the deadlines for submission will be Sept 7. Special screenings of the 5 minute video, and a photo exhibition of the top 30 entries will be organised in Kathmandu, Pokhara and Janakpur to occasion the International Peace Day on Sept 11.
