Applications are open for the GHHIN/EJN Extreme Heat Photo Contest 2025. The Global Heat Health Information Network (GHHIN), in partnership with Internews’ Earth Journalism Network (EJN), is launching a global photography competition to showcase the real impacts of extreme heat, and the ways communities around the world are responding to it.

Heat is a silent killer, and it remains largely invisible and misunderstood. The Network invites photographers and visual storytellers from around the world to help us change that. This competition seeks original, compelling photographs that capture the human, environmental, and infrastructural impacts of extreme heat – as well as the creative strategies communities are using to stay safe and resilient.
