BELIEVE IN BETTER PHOTO COMPETITION



#BelieveInBetter is more than a hashtag. It’s a call to every South African to believe in a better future – and to help shape it. Our Country Through Your Lens is the photographic call to action that invites South Africans to pause, reflect, and share the beauty, hope and resilience they see in the world around them. Whether it’s nature in the city, a child planting a seedling, birds at sunset, or a small act of community – we want to highlight the everyday wonders that give us reason to Believe In Better.


Whether you’re a professional or just passionate about your phone camera, this is your chance to make your mark. Entries open on 12 May and close on 6 June, 2025.
