Submit

Charity platform Milostiv.org (Merciful) invites all amateur and professional photographers to send us their photographs, photographs that inspire and can lift human spirit. You can capture everything around you that you find beautiful, which gives hope, or you see as an image of goodness. The photographs could show landscapes, portraits, urban scenes or details. We will print out and frame the best photos. Then we will donate them to retirement homes people and hospitals all around Bulgaria so they can become part of permanent exhibitions there. We believe places like these should not be depressing. We also believe that inspirational photographic images could help ill and elderly people feel better, to recover and maintain their faith in goodness and beauty. The competition is organised as part of the traditional initiative of Milostiv.org - "Creating Good" 2018.
