Photo competition winners

In May 2011, UNRWA organised a photography competition for young Palestine refugees with funding from the European Union. Young Palestinians throughout the Middle East were tasked with creating a photo series that would give an insight into how they live, on the theme "What you don‘t know about my life". Having deliberated over nearly 100 entries from throughout the region, the judging panel awarded the top prizes to three entries, and gave honorable mentions to three more. Here, we present the winning entries, in the photographers’ own words. The exhibition is travelling to Lebanon and Jordan. View details here. Click on a photo to view full size
