The Walk of Water Photostory Contest: Out of Sight invites photographers to submit photo stories exploring the hidden intersections of water, ecosystems, and human health, with a special focus on wastewater and its impact.

Participants are encouraged to submit photo stories that highlight positive solutions in wastewater management, explore the role of clean water bodies in supporting health and sustainable livelihoods, document wastewater surveillance and its role in detecting emerging threats, expose the hidden costs of polluted water, celebrate the cultural and mental health value of blue spaces, and showcase the importance of safe drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene in various settings.

The contest also welcomes stories that spotlight sports and active living in water environments, emphasizing responsible water and sanitation management. Prizes totaling US$9,000 will be awarded, including a top prize of $3,000, additional prizes of $2,000 and $1,000, three merit prizes of $300 each, and a dedicated youth category for photographers aged 25 or under, with youth prizes of $900, $750, $250, and three merit prizes of $200 each.
