THEME #18Winners2020DEC
DREAM
WINNERS LIST
THEME SUMMARY
Dream; a yearning, a wish, the vision in our sleep or the reveries in daylight. This fluid illusion has repeatedly revealed itself through images and has inspired us along the way, involving senses of hope, beauty, fear, a whole assortment of emotions. With this infinite field of imagination as your stage, visualize the world of dream you see with photographs. Perhaps, you will meet another part of yourself you were never aware of.
[Submission Period] from December 10 to March 1
