Dear Colleagues, Advocates, and Friends,

While data, research, and clinical trials drive our medical advancements, it is the human story that drives our purpose.

As we prepare for the historic first in-person 4th International GANSID Congress (October 23–25, 2026, at the HICC in Hyderabad, India), we are thrilled to announce a brand-new photographic feature in our exhibition hall: “Through the Lens: The GANSID Inherited Blood Disorders Photography Exhibition.

We invite all registered delegates—clinicians, researchers, patients, and advocates—to submit their original photographs. This exhibition will serve as a visual narrative of our global community, bridging the gap between the microscopic science of inherited blood disorders and the macro reality of living with them.

Exhibition Categories

We are accepting photographic submissions across three distinct categories:

  • The Microscopic Canvas (Clinical & Scientific): High-resolution, striking microscopic images of blood smears, cellular structures, lab environments, or scientific phenomena related to sickle cell disease and thalassemia. Show us the art hidden within the science.
  • Faces of Resilience (The Human Experience): Powerful portraits or candid captures of patients, thrivers, and caregivers. These images should reflect the courage, daily realities, and triumphs of those living with inherited blood disorders. (Note: Documented patient consent is required for this category).
  • Advocacy in Action (Community & Care): Dynamic photos capturing the spirit of our global movement—screening camps, community walks, clinical care moments, or educational outreach happening in your local region.

Why Participate?

  • Global Showcase: Your photography will be professionally mounted, and displayed in the main exhibition hall, viewed by hundreds of international delegates.
  • People’s Choice Award: Attendees at the Congress in Hyderabad will have the opportunity to vote on their favorite images in each category. Winners will be recognized during the closing ceremony and featured on the GANSID website.

Submission Guidelines

  • Eligibility: Open to all registered delegates of the 4th GANSID Congress.
  • Format: Submit high-resolution digital files (JPEG or PNG, minimum 300 dpi) along with a short, 50-word caption explaining the story behind the image.

If submission is accepted, you will be required to print and bring along to the Congress your framed photograph (not smaller than 11” by 17” and not larger than 18’’ by 24’’) for display. Note that unframed photographs will not be displayed.

Limit: Maximum of two (2) photo submissions per delegate.
Deadline: Please upload your entries via the link below no later than Friday, September 18, 2026.

Help us transform the HICC exhibition floor into a gallery of science, survival, and solidarity. We cannot wait to see the global inherited blood disorders community through your eyes!

Two winning photographs will be selected by delegates to win GANSID’s Prestigious “People’s Choice Best Inherited Blood Disorders Photography Award”
