Take a picture of a (hi)story behind borders that surround you!
Borders are everywhere—not just between countries, but in your neighbourhood, your city, even in the spaces you pass through every day. Some are visible, like walls or rivers. Others are invisible, like where different communities meet or where one culture transitions into another.
This competition invites you to explore the borders around you and discover the stories they tell. What divides your community? What brings it together? How do these boundaries shape who you are?
Your mission: Find a border in your surroundings, capture it through your camera lens, and tell us its story.
What we're looking for: Borderlandscapes
A borderlandscape is an outdoor space where human-made elements (buildings, roads, fences, objects, even trash) meet natural elements (rivers, fields, forests, mountains) to create some kind of division. These spaces have stories to tell about identity, history, and community.

- What feelings do you—and others in your community—have about this border?
- What do the borderlands tell us about who we are?
