Annual campaign with National Science Museum (NSM) The 2024 International Photo Competition for the Future Save the Earth, Save Us All

The National Science Museum (NSM) in collaboration with the Asia Pacific Network of
Science & Technology Centers (ASPAC), International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN
Thailand), Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC), Thailand Biodiversity Network
Alliance (B-DNA Thailand), and the Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization
Regional Center for STEM Education (SEAMEO STEM-ED) have seen the importance of
engaging and supporting people around the world to realize the importance of joining together to
take action to protect our Earth. The International Photo Competition can be an excellent way to
encourage people to be aware of the environmental crisis by presenting their perspectives through
photographs and accompanying descriptions. We, therefore, have collaborated to create the first
International Photo Competition project in 2021, along with the International Photo Exhibition
presented at the National Science and Technology Fair under the topic Rivers and Ocean:
Connecting Waters to Life. In 2022, the topic was Flow of Beauty: Interconnecting Folks and
Living Creatures. Both years aimed to raise awareness of the crisis of water resources, streams,
rivers, and oceans that we must work together to protect to reinforce a sustainable future. In 2023,
the topic of the international photo competition was Save the World to Sustainably Feed the
Future to create social ripples that make people aware of the importance of conserving natural
resources, the environment, and mindful consumption, and taking serious steps to solve problems
together to reduce food shortages and decrease the number of hungry people sustainably. The past
three contests have received much attention. Each year, we receive more than 500 submissions
from many countries.
