Do you believe the world could be a kinder place? It can, through your photography! The 2022 Our World Is Kind global photography contest is now accepting submissions.

We are looking for images showing acts of kindness and caring from all over the world. There are special award categories, too, including for non-profit work and caring during the pandemic!

Science shows that exposure to images of kindness can help people be kinder, happier, more grateful and optimistic. Envision Kindness, a not-for-profit organization, inspires kindness in others by gathering and sharing images of kindness, compassion, joy, and love with the world. We know that it works–people are happier, calmer, more grateful and more generous.

People all over the world need a way to feel happier and more connected to others. To be kinder to others. Your photography could do that.

The contest is free to enter and will award over $2,000 in cash prizes! Our last contest was viewed over 230,000 times and had more than 2000 submissions from 750+ photographers in over 85 countries.

Will you join the kindness movement? Submit your kind images today and #PictureABetterWorld.
