Abstract
Calls to make climate change visible have multiplied across cultural and corporate contexts. Yet little is known about how climate images are selected and made publicly visible. This paper examines a climate photography competition co-organised by a corporate actor and a community-based environmental organization. It traces the selection process from publicly exhibited images back to earlier stages of filtering and evaluation. The analysis combines multimodal critical discourse analysis (MCDA) of photographs and written statements, field observations of jury deliberations, and reflexive interviews with selection participants. The study investigates how organizational selection processes shape the boundaries of legitimate climate representation and structure what remains visible or excluded.
