Photojournalists and amateur photographers can now submit images that
"challenge conventional understanding of 'femininity' and
'masculinity' and help to break the mold of male-female 'divide'" to a
photo competition.

The World Association for Christian Communication (WACC) is hosting
the photographic competition, "Portraying Gender." Winners will be
awarded cash prizes that range from US$500 (first prize) to US$200.

The competition is an effort of WACC in collaboration with the online
photo service Flickr. To be submitted, photos must be uploaded on
Flickr.
