THEME #24Winners2021JUN
MEMORIES
WINNERS LIST
THEME SUMMARY

Photography is at once a recording media and a memory-recalling device. Anyone must have experienced that sensation; a strange nostalgia for a scenery of a place you’ve never visited or a sudden flashback. The images sometimes even trigger certain sounds or smells. The other senses react to what we see and stir up different emotions within everyone. It has the ability to capture one moment as a memory to be shared with others. Let us see what you think “MEMORIES” are, through photographs.
[Submission Period] from June 16 to August 31
