Great photos from young people

Just thought you'd like to see these great pics. Shootnations has unveiled the winning entries of its photo competition today, which was open to 11-24 year-olds across the globe. The theme of the competition was what young people would like to change, what upsets them and who they think holds the power to make change.

The overall winner was 16 year-old Maher Elnaggar from Egypt, who says: "This photograph reveals our determination and our will to break free through the circle of life and its problems."

The overall best runner-up prize went to Barbara Anastacio, 22 from Portugal, whose photo represented what upsets her: "Above all it bothers me that fear, the biggest terrorist of all, can stop us from loving and living without the ability to be free."

All of the winning entries will go on show at the UN headquarters in New York as part of the celebrations for International Youth Day on 12 August.
