[ 01 — OUR LENS ]
Photography makes
us look twice.
Lens of Life is a photography competition based at 10X International School, Bangalore. Founded in October 2024, it is a completely online, individual event for students in Grades 6–12. Participants submit 2 to 4 photographs under a specific category, along with 50-word descriptions for each image. Entries can be shot on a phone or camera, though we recommend using a camera.
Our judging panel looks for creativity, technical skill, composition, message strength, and the other elements that make a strong photograph. All profits go to charity, helping community causes and encouraging empathy in society. Across 3 editions, Lens of Life has raised more than ₹20,000 and supported hundreds of children with food and shelter.
