GIVING JOY PHOTO CONTEST 2026: Joy at Work
2025 Photo Contest Winners
This year's Giving Joy Photo Contest theme is Joy at Work, and we're inviting women photographers around the world to capture it.
Despite the grit, the struggle, and all the challenges along the way, there is joy in your work, and we want to celebrate it! Every woman entrepreneur has that moment — the one where the work feels exactly right. Maybe it's the first customer. The finished product. The quiet pride of something built from scratch. We want to see it.
Joy at Work -Show us the moment you love what you do.
