Iraq: Photography Award 2025 | International Committee of the Red Cross

In the heart of Mesopotamia—where the first seeds of civilization were sown—Iraq’s story with agriculture began. From the fertile plains between the Tigris and Euphrates, ancient communities pioneered farming techniques that shaped human history. Today, agriculture remains not just a livelihood, but a cultural legacy and a vital source of wealth for generations of Iraqis.

This year’s photography contest invites you, Iraqi photographers, to explore the theme of “Agriculture” through your lenses, which will tell us a story of beauty, resilience, and authentic traditions rooted in our land.
