You are invited to explore the meaning of the term “Family” through your images and thoughts. A theme as broad as “Family” offers a variety of approaches. From personal experience and autobiography – which often has a diary feel – to documentary and conceptual photography, as a result of a reflection on what family means today.

As we understand it, the term “family” refers to a social unit consisting of people who live together and interact in a domestic environment and who are related to each other by kinship or emotional ties. Submitted photographs could explore, imply or provide answers to questions such as (but not limited to): “What are families today?”, “How do traditions and cultures affect the way we live, in and with them?”, “Are there new ways of understanding the family?”; also, references to immigrants who created new social groups as well as the demand made by same-sex couples for recognition of their right to start their own families.
