The 'World is Our Lab' competition will run for three months, with winners being announced in February 2014. Entries are invited from all over Africa, and will fall into three main categories: African Grand Challenges, African City Systems and African Innovation.
Whether images are captured on a camera phone or professional camera, participants have the chance to win a visit to IBM's new research lab in Nairobi and receive a photography workshop. Judges will be looking for photos that express how people living in Africa manage their energy or water needs, how they commute, how cities live and breathe, and how people come up with innovative solutions to address their needs and create new opportunities.
The contest is now live and people are already uploading, commenting and talking on their social media channels. To enter or comment go to: http://www.theworldisourlabafrica.com/, and to follow the trend on Twitter: #IBMRESEARCHAFRICA
