Universidade Católica launches ‘Hope in Action’ photo competition

On 24 May, marking the 10th anniversary of the Encyclical Laudato si' and as part of the Jubilee Year “Pilgrims of Hope”, the Universidade Católica is launching the “Hope in Action” photo competition.

‘Everyone hopes. In the heart of every person there is hope as a desire and expectation of the good, despite not knowing what tomorrow will bring.’ - Pope Francis, Spes non confundit, 1

Can you take a photograph that captures the essence of hope in action?

Photography can help bring to life the best of the human experience in its relationship with a world that desires fraternity and solidarity, recording acts of kindness, popular activism, community involvement and other symbols of hope or inspiring leadership.

‘All it takes is one good man for there to be hope!’ - Pope Francis, Laudato si', 71.

Participation in the competition is open to the academic community and friends of Católica, through this link

Take part and share your vision of hope in action.
