Call for contributions: “Joy in focus: Capturing moments of triumph with HIV”

“Joy in focus: Capturing moments of triumph with HIV”

We are on a mission to highlight the incredible, joyous moments that define your life after an HIV diagnosis. We believe that joy is a powerful force, and we want to showcase your stories through the lens of your happiest memories.

Details of the request

We’re assembling a unique photo piece called 'Joy in focus,' and we need your help to make it a testament to the transformative power of joy. Beyond the dark moments of past diagnosis and grappling with HIV, there was a moment when the light broke through and you realized you were going to live life to its fullest. We want to highlight that with a photo—a vibrant, uplifting image that captures the moment joy bulldozed your diagnosis. It could be a marriage proposal, a stunning stage performance, a personal victory, or any other triumphant moment that symbolizes your journey of resilience and hope.

What to submit: A high-resolution photo that encapsulates your moment of joy and a 20–50-word experience description.

Selection criteria and benefits: We’ll select the most compelling and heartwarming photos to feature in our upcoming issue.
