Theme: Joy Unfiltered
This year, we invite service members, their families, and DoW civilians to explore and document the raw, genuine moments of life under the theme: "Joy Unfiltered."
We are moving away from the polished, staged, and heavily edited. This theme is all about the candid, the spontaneous, and the real. Whether it is the split-second laughter between battle buddies, the quiet relief of returning home, the messy beauty of a family hobby, or a breathtaking view captured during a deployment—we want to see your interpretation of honest, unscripted joy.
