As a fun creative challenge, we invited our Unite Scholars and teammates to participate in a photography competition. They each were asked to — using their Unite smartphones — take photos from their everyday lives that best illustrate their vision of love, beauty, and joy. Below are a few of the prize-winning entries. All winnings images can be seen by clicking HERE.
