Together with UNESCO WWAP and UNEP, Onewater is running the 2026 Walk of Water Photostory Contest, now in its sixth edition.
This year’s theme, “Out of Sight”, focuses on the water stories that rarely get documented: wastewater, contamination, unsafe sanitation, and the often invisible work of sanitation workers and wastewater surveillance teams. We’re inviting photographers of all levels to submit photo stories that show how water shapes health, longevity, and well-being.
