“Friendship” can be interpreted in many ways, and we encourage you to explore different and unusual ideas. Here are some suggestions as to how you might interpret the theme:

Special moments: Capture the moments that make your friendship special. It could be a shared experience, a joke or a significant event

Emotions of friendship: Try to capture the emotions of friendship – show how friendship can be expressed through different feelings like love, care, happiness and support.

Different types of friendships: Friendships come in different forms, from childhood friends to work colleagues, to the companionship and support offered by our pets and animals. Show how friendships can form in different settings and how they can be unique.

Abstract interpretations: You can use abstract techniques like patterns, shapes, colours, and shadows to convey the theme of friendship. Show how the essence of friendship can be depicted in abstract forms.

Why not have a look back through your old photos –
you might have taken a great Friendship photo already.
