'An Inclusive Commonwealth'
The Commonwealth Theme for 2016 celebrates the diversity of the Commonwealth, which is made up of more than two billion people. Every one of them is different, and each of them has something unique to offer. The Commonwealth builds a better world by including and respecting everybody, and we hope this year's Commonwealth Photography Competition will help us celebrate the richness and diversity of all people living in the Commonwealth.
