Grab your camera and join the Bittersweet contest

An estimated 1.8 million children still work in the cocoa industry, some of whom work in deplorable conditions. The 10 Campaign is working to eliminate child labour in the cocoa-industries of Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire, where two-thirds of the world’s cocoa is grown. As a member of the 10 Campaign, Fairfood International is launching the Bittersweet photo contest to raise awareness for these issues.

The brain-child of a group of social development students, from the University of Utrecht in The Netherlands, the Bittersweet photo contest is asking the public to love chocolate and stop child labour.

Snap-happy contestants: please grab some fair and ethically produced chocolate, your cameras, and submit your most creative photos to us at www.fairfood.org/bittersweet. The lucky winner will be rewarded with fair products worth €50!

Entries open on the 17^th of January and close on the 14^th of February, 2012.
