Participate in the photo contest
– every picture tells a story
Entering the photography competition is easy. You don't need any special skills or a fancy camera – you can even use your mobile phone to take pictures. The most important thing is not the technical quality, but the feeling, the encounter and the story behind the picture.
The theme of the competition is all kinds of minorities and lonely people. You can take a picture of yourself (selfie) if you feel like you belong to the theme, or for example of a neighbor who you think is lonely - at the same time you can exchange a few words.
Maybe you know someone who has immigrated to the country or someone with a developmental disability, with whom it would be nice to take a moment to stop and take a picture.
Ask permission for the photo – and create a connection. The goal is to highlight genuine encounters and people who often remain invisible.
We are looking for touching images that tell about humanity, minorities and loneliness. The most important thing is that people can be together, accept and understand each other – and feel like they belong.
Everyone can participate – including you. You can be the photographer, the subject, or even both.
You can find more detailed instructions and technical information (e.g. image size, file format, etc.) in the link below.


Every person deserves to be seen, heard, and treated with respect.
Anna hymy päivässä – vaikka tuntemattomalle (vielä).
