Social Vision photography competition 2011
Since 2009 the competition has set out to find images that show the unique and transformative work of social enterprise. Now in its fourth year, the photography competition is run by Triodos Bank and Social Enterprise UK in association with Social Enterprise Live.
See the 2011 Winners and finalists which all feature in this Social Vision 2012 calendar .
Who was eligible to enter?
The competition was open to social enterprises only.
Social enterprises are businesses trading for social and environmental purposes. Put simply they use the power of business to address some of society's most pressing challenges - and when they profit, society profits. Social enterprises are a diverse and vibrant group of businesses driven by social and environmental objectives and are not limited by size, shape, scope or geography.
The winning photos along with the other finalists will be used to compile a 2012 calendar.
