In partnership with Photography4Humanity, we’re inviting emerging photographers to submit images that explore one of the most universal and urgent themes of our time: Home.
We’re looking for images that reflect on safety, belonging, dignity, identity, and place. In a time shaped by climate disruption, displacement, and migration, the meaning of home carries new urgency. We welcome photographs that explore this theme through personal, documentary, or conceptual perspectives.
Selected works will be exhibited at the United Nations Headquarters in New York in recognition of Human Rights Day on 10 December 2026, bringing these stories into one of the world’s most important civic spaces. Presented in partnership with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (UN Human Rights), which joins as Global Impact Partner.
