Inspirational Photo Contest

 

     Living in a world with news, entertainments, gossips and media that put emphasizes on violent acts, deviations, abnormalities, unverified facts, subliminal contents and negative messages, we hope to remind people that life is, indeed, beautiful. We are constantly surrounded by wonderful things and good people. Unfortunately, we very often don’t recognize them. Through this competition, we hope to create an area on the World Wide Web where people can come for inspirations, encouragements, hopes, and peace, or just to feel positive about life..

 

The contest consists of 2 divisions.

Division 1: The inspirational quotation can be chosen from one in the following list.

Division 2: The inspirational quotation can be chosen freely by the participant herself. The author of the quotation should be acknowledged through citation.
