Enter the IPA OneShot Photo Contest
Searching for Peace
American author Robert Fulghum wrote, “Peace is not something you wish for. It is something you make, something you are, something you do, and something you give away.”
In a world where conflict seems to shape our narrative, peace can seem distant and illusive. But even amid turmoil, it thrives among us, around us, and within us.
So, we invite you to join us in changing the conversation as we launch IPA’s 2024 OneShot photo competition: “Searching for Peace.”
Through your lens you can illuminate the beauty of peace as it reveals itself in life, in nature, in conflict, and even in the abstract. Share the snapshots that have resonated with you in the pursuit of peace that defines our journey in this ever-evolving world.
Submission Deadline: May 1, 2024
CATEGORIES
Share with us the images you’ve captured that reflect the pursuit of peace, and embracing the theme of tranquility in the following categories:
- Everyday Tranquility – snapshots of quiet, peaceful moments in everyday life.
- Nature’s Serenity – the peaceful power of our natural world.

- Peace Through My Eyes – your vision of what peace is, what it means to you.
