From the farmers in the fields to the ritual of a feast, food is central to human existence. It can comfort us, sustain us, and cultivate connections between us. Food has the power to nourish us, both body and mind. It can express individual tastes or a shared cultural heritage.
For our EAT contest, show us images that celebrate food in all its many forms: the ingredients, growers, chefs, techniques, traditions, and stories behind one of humanity's most basic needs.
