Drones flying vaccines to remote communities in Nepal. App-based delivery drivers navigating traffic in Bangkok. Nickel mining in the jungles of Indonesia. Technology is all around us, changing how we live and relate to others. This year, the Rest of the World wants to see how you experience these profound changes, and how technology impacts you and your communities - from how you work, to how you shop, to how you eat.

For the inaugural Rest of the World Photography competition, we want to see your images of the impact of technology. The competition is open to photographers of any skill level, living and working in the non-Western world (full list of countries below). Each photographer can submit a single image taken in the last three years. The competition is open for entries until midnight GMT on 31 January 2023.

A panel of judges will analyse the entries and select 10 images as finalists, which will be presented on the Rest of the World website. From the final 10 images, the top three photographs will be chosen as winners. The first place winner will receive a cash prize of $1,000. The second and third place winners will be awarded $500 and $250 respectively.
