Share the moments that bring people together in your community

WORLD SIGHT DAY WAS OCTOBER 8, 2026

World Sight Day is a global awareness day led by the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB). It focuses on the importance of eye care that is accessible, available, and affordable to everyone.

World Sight Day is an opportunity to reflect on the many ways healthy vision can enrich our lives, helping us connect, participate, and feel part of our communities.

SEE THE POSSIBILITIES PHOTO CONTEST

In recognition of World Sight Day, this year’s photo contest celebrated the connections,
care, and sense of inclusion that help people and communities thrive.

2026 PHOTO CONTEST THEME: ‘EVERYONE BELONGS’

What does belonging look like in your community?
We asked you for photos that capture the moments when community comes to life: sharing a meal, celebrating a cultural tradition, helping a neighbour, or simply making someone feel welcome.

Whether it’s a vibrant festival or a quiet moment of connection, we wanted to see the people, experiences, and traditions that bring us together and help each of us feel like we belong.

We asked you to help us celebrate the ties that make our communities stronger. Your photos didn’t disappoint!
