Young amateur photographers from Cyprus, aged 12-35, are encouraged to use their cameras to capture the uniqueness of human experience, its challenges, and moments of hope.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mental health is a matter that concerns us all, as studies show it is influenced by multiple factors, including social pressures, uncertainty about the future, and modern life\u2019s fast pace. Emotions play a crucial role in our lives, making us human, authentic, and unique. Through this contest, we invite young people to express their emotions through photography.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13165 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/makerspace.onek.org.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/1920X1440-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"656\" height=\"492\" srcset=\"https:\/\/makerspace.onek.org.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/1920X1440-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/makerspace.onek.org.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/1920X1440-1030x773.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/makerspace.onek.org.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/1920X1440-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/makerspace.onek.org.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/1920X1440-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/makerspace.onek.org.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/1920X1440-1500x1125.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/makerspace.onek.org.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/1920X1440-705x529.jpg 705w, https:\/\/makerspace.onek.org.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/1920X1440-31x23.jpg 31w, https:\/\/makerspace.onek.org.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/1920X1440.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 656px) 100vw, 656px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Participants can interpret the theme either literally or metaphorically.
