The 2023 Our World is Kind Photography Contest received thousands of submissions from photographers from around the globe. Thanks to all of the photographers who submitted these inspiring portrayals of kindness to the contest! It was very hard for the judges to choose between so many wonderful images.
We are very pleased to announce the 2023 award recipients.
The contest, which ended on September 30th, #PictureABetterWorld, was free to enter and awarded cash prizes of up to $1,000 USD! “This year, we received submissions from over 800 talented photographers from across the world! The quality and kind spirit of the images gathered this year is truly amazing. We hope you’ll take a moment to enjoy the beautiful and inspiring photographs submitted to the contest by viewing the gallery today.”
Thank you to all of the caring and hardworking photographers who contributed this year. Many thanks also to YOU, our valued Envision Kindness community. We are so grateful for your support, and your efforts in promoting joy, compassion, and kindness. We have learned that after people see images of kindness, they are kinder, happier, and more generous. When displayed in healthcare settings, the images uplift both patients, staff, and foster a sense of calm and optimism. People treat each other better and are more generous.
