WASHINGTON, Jan. 30, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- InterAction, the largest alliance of international NGOs and partners in the United States, has opened submissions for its 15th annual Effective Assistance Photography Contest.

For over a decade, InterAction's photography contest has focused on incredible humanitarian and development work. Once again, we encourage photographers – professional and amateur – to submit their most powerful photos that illustrate inspiring efforts in humanitarian assistance and international relief and development.
