Dear SeeingHappy Community,
We have an exciting opportunity to showcase your photographic talent and inspire global change! The “Hope in Action” Photography Contest, sponsored by The Hope Circuit (Instituto de Bienestar Integral), SeeingHappy, and the Primals Project, is now open for submissions.
A photograph is more than an image; it is a powerful catalyst for change. As part of the “Hope Circuit” conference in Mexico City led by Dr. Martin Seligman, we challenge photographers from all walks of life to capture the transformative spirit of hope in their work. This is your chance to share your vision of hope and contribute to a global movement!
Why Participate?
SeeingHappy believes that everyone is an agent of change, capable of making a significant impact through small acts of kindness and optimism. Each photograph in this contest will be a testament to the primal belief that the world is improvable and that collective small actions can lead to substantial positive change. Plus, we have prizes ranging from exhibiting your work to free passes to the Hope Circuit conference and prize money!
Contest Details:
Submissions Open: July 15th, 2024 (12:00 am EST)
Submissions Close: November 1st, 2024 (5:00 pm EST)
PROMPT: Can you take a photograph that encapsulates the essence of hope in action for yourself or others? Whether it’s capturing acts of kindness, grassroots activism, community engagement, or inspiring leadership, your photo could ignite the spark of change and motivate others to contribute to a better world.
Join Us at the Exhibition:
A selection of photographs will be showcased at the SeeingHappy @ The Hope Circuit Exhibition from November 23rd to November 24th, 2024, in Mexico City. This is a unique opportunity to see your work displayed and celebrated alongside other inspiring entries. This event will be sponsored by Fundacíon Televisa.
We can’t wait to be inspired by your photos!

LANTERN OF HOPES
BY SHAMIM UL ISLAM
“Children are flying lanterns in the sky to wish good luck for the coming year, their father is helping them to fly the lantern.

HOPE FOR WORLD
BY MYO MINN AUNG
“The world is slowly facing dryness. We, as good human beings, should have good hopes for the world. Let’s plant trees and help the world regenerate.”
PLASTIC BOTTLE RECYCLING
BY JOY SAHA
“Workers sort used plastic bottles in a recycling factory in Dhaka, Bangladesh. They help to prevent the bottles from being discarded, sent to landfill, where they can take 1,000 years to biodegrade, or incinerated, which produces toxic fumes. The emission of CO2 and other greenhouse gases will be reduced if recycling takes place in the production of new plastics.”
EAGLE
BY LEVENT ATES
“Eagle with a broken wing. It needs treatment.”
HOPE ON WALL STREET
BY ALEC RILL
“On a beautiful day, tourists – finally – came back. I don’t know what it was about the sunny day and the awe of seeing Wall Street but many people seem to be looking up in awe, almost like praying, hoping that the virus is gone and peace on earth is near.”
