Dear fellow couchsurfers,

I'm organising a photo competition for the Medsin Global Health National Conference, to be held in King's College London this April. I thought many of you, as travel photographers, probably have relevant photo and could use a bit of exposure for their work.
I'm currently working on a prize as well, which will be confirmed at a later date, but expect some photo printing vouchers for our winner, the runner up and the popular winner !

Ok, so here it goes, guidelines are as follow, hope to have the chance of seeing some of your work !

Best wishes to you all, keep on taking photos and keep on couchsurfing !
