Capture the beauty, diversity, and spirit of Nigeria
through your unique perspective.
Join our prestigious Photography contest and
showcase your storytelling talent.
Nigeria Through My Lens (NTML) is a national creative campaign initiated by the Unveiling and Rebranding Nigeria Initiative (URNI) to inspire patriotism and positive storytelling among young Nigerians. Through photography, videography, and visual arts, the project empowers youth to capture and share the beauty, culture, and resilience of their communities. NTML was born out of URNI’s commitment to shifting the narrative about Nigeria by promoting authentic, homegrown stories that reflect the nation’s richness and diversity. It is more than a competition—it is a movement to reawaken pride, preserve heritage, and showcase Nigeria through the eyes of its most passionate storytellers.
