Background The OIE organised its own photo competition for the ?rst time in 2015 in a bid to broaden the narrow association of animal health with domestic animals and veterinary surgery, so often endorsed by the media. The objective was to show, through artistic delivery and photographic creativity, the crucial collaboration between animal health and public health, and the daily and sometimes arduous activities of prevention, surveillance, diagnosis and control carried out by animal health workers in the ?eld (veterinarians, farmers, researchers and others) to safeguard animal health worldwide.
