SeeingHappy: Empowering Communities through Photography
Competition Open from 18 April to 6 June 2025
SeeingHappy is a non-profit organization that harnesses the power of photography to foster well-being and inspire positivity across the world. Established in 2021, SeeingHappy has curated a remarkable collection of over 10,000 photos and reflections, each reflecting the beauty, hope, and humanity found in everyday life. Our mission revolves around four core principles: Illuminate, Attend, Empower, and Inspire.
In collaboration with the IPPA World Congress, SeeingHappy will launch the Visions of Renewal Photography Contest, presented by SeeingHappy and the International Positive Psychology Association (IPPA), invites photographers of all levels, ages 13 and up, to share images that capture the spirit of renewal in nature, communities, or personal life. This global contest celebrates the launch of IPPA’s Positive Arts & Culture Division and aligns with the theme of the 2025 World Congress on Positive Psychology in Brisbane, where selected photos will be exhibited. Whether depicting growth, healing, or transformation, each submission is a chance to reflect on the world’s regenerative potential and inspire hope. Prizes include Amazon gift cards and IPPA memberships, and entries are open from 18 April to 6 June 2025.
Open to anyone with access to a camera (cell phone or DSLR), this global contest encourages participants to reflect on how the world, even in the face of adversity, naturally tends toward healing and transformation. This initiative marks the launch of IPPA’s new Positive Arts & Culture Division, a community dedicated to exploring how the arts and humanities contribute to human flourishing.
We invite organisations, educators, and individuals passionate about making a meaningful impact to partner with us. Together, we can expand the reach of our programs and continue to showcase the profound effects of viewing and capturing the world through an optimistic lens. Join us in our mission to not only see happiness but to create it, one photo at a time.
