Open to the public, entries should illustrate the high production standards that EU livestock farmers work to and the multiple benefits of the sector for creating growth and jobs, vibrant rural areas, and helping people to choose a balanced diet.
Amanda Cheesley, press officer at Copa and Cogeca, said: "We believe that meat provides consumers with an important source of protein in their diet. Vitamin B12 is particularly important and animal products, including meat, dairy and eggs are the primary natural sources of B12 which is vital for children. Dairy produce is also packed with calcium which is vital for strong bones.
"Livestock are also important for the economies of rural areas where often no other source of employment exists. What’s more, farmers in the EU meet some of the highest production standards in the world.
"Consumers are often unaware of all these great benefits. This photo competition is therefore designed to increase the visibility and show to the public the high livestock production standards the EU has and the great conditions animals live in."
The winner will receive a weekend trip for two to Madrid in Spain and have their image featured on the cover of Copa and Cogeca's magazine. Two runners up will win a hamper of farm produce.
