**A photo competition celebrating love in the capital launches today, benefitting
charity PhotoVoice.**

[Love in London](https://www.clikdapp.com/loveinlondon) has launched to celebrate
unity and hope following a turbulent 2017. [CLiKD](https://www.clikdapp.com/), a
dating app aimed at the creative community, has launched the competition, inviting
people to submit photographs that showcase what love means to them in the capital.
The aim is to unite differences and inspire the city, as well as raising funds for
[PhotoVoice](https://photovoice.org/), which supports social change and gives people
a voice through photography. Entry to the competition is free, but participants 
are encouraged to give a £2 donation per image to support the charity’s projects
worldwide.

As well as inviting images from anybody who has a story to tell about London, the
competition will also showcase the work of celebrated photographers who will be 
sharing their perspectives of Love in London. Photographers include Laura Pannack
and Peter Dench, with further contributions to be announced.

tube stations and bus stops.

Tom Elkins, PhotoVoice CEO, said:

> “I’m absolutely delighted to be involved with the Love in London competition. 
> PhotoVoice’s charitable work helps people use photography to tell their side of
> the story and we’ve always been inspired by the images that people have created
> in our projects. Now, we are excited to see what people choose to submit to this
> competition which will celebrate what makes London such a wonderful city to live,
> visit and work in.”

Submissions for the competition open today (14 February) and close on 7 March. Information
