Last year, LabourStart sponsored the first-ever international Labour Photo of the Year competition. Photographers from all over the world submitted their pictures and a panel of expert judges selected a short-list of the five best. LabourStart’s readers then voted in their thousands to choose the winning photo.

LabourStart is very pleased to announce the second annual Labour Photo of the Year. LabourStart is wants to encourage and recognize the talents of worker-photographers around the world, and at the same time to encourage them to tell the stories of our struggles in photos. The deadline for submissions of photos is 30 September 2009.
