*Deadline: January 17, 2018*
Women Deliver is inviting photo entries for their Diabetes in Pregnancy
Photo Contest 2018. Together with the World Diabetes Foundation, Women
Deliver seeks to elevate the issue of gestational diabetes. Diabetes
triggered by pregnancy affects 1 in 7 births — and the vast majority of
women affected live in low-and middle-income countries. Women with
unmanaged diabetes in pregnancy run a higher risk of having infants with
excessive birth weight, or macrosomia, which can lead to complications
such as obstructed labor and an increased risk for maternal and newborn
death and disabilities.
Women Deliver seeks entries that tell the story of someone who has
experienced diabetes during pregnancy in some capacity. Examples include
a woman who has, or has had, diabetes during her pregnancy; health
workers who work with women diagnosed with gestational diabetes; spouses
of women who have experienced diabetes during pregnancy; or children
whose mothers have experienced gestational diabetes.
*Prizes*
15 prizes will be awarded, as follows:
* *Grand Prizes:* $1,000 awarded to three photographers — Women
Deliver will choose one photo from each country (China, India, and
