The winners of the 2017 OIE PHOTO COMPETITION are the photographers who best illustrate, both from an artistic and a descriptive point of view, the work carried out by animal health and welfare players, in particular by Veterinary services both in their public and private components, to protect animal health and promote animal welfare worldwide in the context of the OIE Standards’ implementation, thus ensuring public health.

The OIE and all its member states play such a vital role in veterinary and public health, and the general public is seldom aware of the huge role that all these people play in keeping them safe. I think this photo competition is a great idea, as it is a chance to see the every-day experiences of the veterinarians and animal health workers from around the world.

The OIE's support of animal health and welfare was well portrayed in the task of this photo competition. By purposefully looking for veterinary interactions in the care and management of animals, it granted me an even deeper perspective of what it means to be a veterinarian. There are so many ways for a veterinarian to be involved in communities, helping to promote the health of the people through the health and care of their animals.

I have been passionate about photography ever since I can remember and being able to use my passion in throwing light to the field of veterinary practice gives me immense joy and satisfaction.
I am extremely thankful to OIE for providing this great opportunity for scores of students like me for whom this event has not merely been a competition but a platform for realization and understanding. Competitions like this inculcates in budding veterinarians a feeling of respect towards animals and the need for giving due consideration to animal welfare in their field of work.
