Submit a Photo

A few months ago we invited readers to submit a smartphone photo to our creative challenge. This is a fun activity that helps us see beauty in our common ordinary lives. It is NOT a competitive contest which means there is NO FEE or prize. We We just want to share beautiful and telling images of things that are soothing and healing to look at! Beauty for the sake of beauty!

So, if you have taken a photo of something that is significant to you, along with a short description, please send it our way! The link below takes you to a page with instructions on how to submit it.

Let’s use this to focus on positive, inspiring things that make us hopeful. You can stage shots, capture spontaneous moments, or focus on interesting people, places, or things. But they must be photos you have taken.
