2018 Our World is Kind Contest
Envision Kindness is a non-profit (charity) organization based in Connecticut, USA, that promotes kindness, compassion, joy, and love through the sharing of images and stories of kindness. Driven by science, our goal is to improve individual lives and communities by inspiring goodness and happiness in as many people as possible.
The objective of this contest is to see and share kindness, compassion, and empathy with others. Can you capture kindness in its many forms?
Although we see news reports of violence, greed, death, and disaster every day, there is also a lot of good out there. In fact, there’s probably a lot more good than bad. But people all over the world need to see it more. Something amazing happens when people see kindness: they feel a lot better. They are inspired by optimism, gratitude, compassion, and joy, and show a willingness to volunteer and help others.
