“WHAT UNITES US”

At a time when the world seems increasingly fragmented on a social, political and technological level, it is urgent to look at what brings us together. The 18th edition of the REFLEX Photography Award invites you to capture “What Unites Us”, celebrating empathy, solidarity and the invisible bonds that bring us together. We want to discover the gestures that build community: a shared embrace, a complicit look, hands that intertwine, neighbours who help each other, families who reinvent themselves, strangers who become companions. Through photography, we seek to capture the essence of human, their ability to care, to welcome, to help each other, to listen, to be present. Each image can be a testimony to how there will always be gestures that remind us that we are not alone.
