Age: The competition is open to children ages 7-16.
Brief: Due to the COVID-19 virus, people have been asked to stay home and self isolate to keep safe and healthy. As a result, we are encouraging kids and teens to photograph their “grounded” life at home, in isolation. Kids & teens will be encouraged to photograph their daily life through fun weekly challenges, which will inspire them to create dynamic images and learn new skills.
The Grounded Competition is now closed. Thank you for all your great photos, it’s been brilliant seeing how everyone responded to the weekly photographic themes. Check out our amazing winners below.
