2. To inspire positive health action among both the student photographers and those who view thephotographers’ work.

Students from across the Emory campus have participated in this contest for 14 years. In addition to capturing both a global health message and creating a photographic work of art, EGHI also asks Emory students to consider ethical issues when takingphotographs of people experiencing different health challenges around the world.
