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 invited 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?
The mission: Find a border in your surroundings, capture it through your camera lens, and tell us its story.
What we looked 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.
Questions to consider:
