“Children… are our legacy. Our responsibility. They are our destiny and we are theirs. The extent to which we fail as parents, we fail as God’s children”. The gallery invites online submission from amateur and professional artists around the world. We wish to see and exhibit the most spectacular photos. The theme is open to any kind of interpretation, but there will be accepted works that will offer an original view of the theme, free from conventions and lifestyles. We put an accent on creativeness, vision and composition. We are looking for beauty, non-conformism and classic, but most of all we are looking for emotions We want to see many works from many different parts of the world, we want to see how or what ‘CHILDREN’ means in your country, culture and of course in your eyes.
