About
We invite you to participate in a photo contest dedicated to authentic, unembellished everyday life — captured using a smartphone. Each photo must feature a person or group of people in their natural, unremarkable, genuine moments.
Your task is to reveal the extraordinary within the ordinary: to find, in daily routines, a moment that makes viewers pause, look closer, and feel something. It doesn’t matter which phone you use — what matters is how you see the world around you.
This contest isn’t about technique or equipment — it’s about your perspective. About your ability to notice what others overlook and transform it into a photograph worth looking at again and again.
Accepted:
- Photos taken exclusively with a smartphone or tablet — brand, model, and year of release are irrelevant
- Color or black-and-white images — choose whichever best conveys the atmosphere and meaning of the shot
- Each photo must prominently feature at least one person: whether alone, in a small group, or within a crowd — people must be the central focus
- Images capturing people engaged in everyday activities
Not accepted:
- Photos taken with DSLR, mirrorless, or any other professional camera equipment
- Staged, studio, advertising, or commercial shoots — even if stylized to resemble everyday life
- Screenshots, photos of monitors or prints, collages, AI-generated images, drawings, or graphics
- Photos where the main subject is nature, architecture, or objects without any human presence
- Photos lacking a clearly visible person — e.g., where the person is distant, obscured, blurred, or merely implied by context
- Portraits lacking action or context, where the person is not engaged in everyday life
- Photos violating copyright or the rights of depicted individuals (if publication requires consent, such consent must be obtained)
