Enter the Royal Commonwealth Society’s Young Commonwealth Competitions: Commonwealth Photographic Awards The Young Commonwealth Competitions take a different theme each year. In 2010, the focus is on Science, Technology and Society. We want to encourage you to think about the role that science and technology can play in helping to tackle challenges faced by your own community, or those living in another part of the world. One powerful image can often say more than many pages of writing. If you want to make your response to the Science, Technology and Society theme an image, then start snapping! Whether you use a digital, analogue, or disposable camera – or even a mobile phone – we want to see your pictures.

Despite being caught by them and turned into a mouse, he still has the courage to plan a way to save the day.
