The DHS Program

DHSOlympics Photo Guidelines

MEASURE DHS is inviting photographers, novice and advanced, to share their work for educational and promotional use. By submitting their images, participants contribute to a growing collection, helping MEASURE DHS communicate health data translation and usage worldwide.  We have limited images of developing countries to utilize for our publications.  We need you to help us build our image library of women, men and children in developing countries where we conduct surveys.

MEASURE DHS encourages those who are interested in our work and data to participate.

• Contest participants understand that when the contest is over, their entries are eligible for inclusion in the general MEASURE DHS collection, upon which their photos may be used to promote health and demographic data reports.
• Participation in the contest does NOT require you to forfeit your copyright.
  

The best of the photographs submitted will be utilized throughout the #DHSOlympics social media campaign.  Images submitted are subject to inclusion of future MEASURE DHS publications, including but not limited to presentations, key findings reports, brochures and posters.  All photographs used within #DHSOlympics and future publications will be properly cited with photographer's name.
