Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A Polish photographer has been named the winner of the latest Child Photo Competition contest for her touching, and adorable, snap of a dog mimicking a little boy as he sits on the floor with his head in his hands.
Justyna Garczyk-Kleszcz’s black and white image was taken for the monthly competition, themed around ‘Children and Animals’, which saw over 1000 photographers submit artworks from the US and Canada to Russia, New Zealand, Uruguay, Malaysia, Brazil, Indonesia and many more.
The aim of the competitions is to offer exposure and recognition to talented but perhaps undiscovered child, baby, newborn and family photographers, while also showcasing the skills of professional artists.
There is no entry charge but only one photograph should be submitted per person. Children featured in the photographs should be no older than 17.
Judges look for “creative approach, artistic quality, emotions and decisiveness” in the submissions and the winner is tasked with setting the next theme.
The next monthly contest is going festive, with the theme set as ‘The Colours of Christmas’. Photographers are invited to send in their best pieces around the “magic of childhood and Christmas” by 30 December.
