Can you imagine everyone in the world taking a photograph simultaneously?

Can you imagine the feeling of peace, connection, and excitement this moment would bring?

Can you imagine the impact? … We can … Please join us on October 10th!

Worldwide Moment is a not-for-profit simultaneous photography event to create international peace, art, and cultural awareness.

Join us! It’s easy!

All you have to do is take a photograph of your world, your life, your story at the moment of 10.10.10@10:10AM GMT – which means October 10, 2010 at 10:10AM Greenwich Mean Time. Remember there are different time zones all around the world, so be sure to check what time this moment corresponds to in your city and time zone. Then take a photo at that moment and celebrate with thousands of people around the world!

Capture a moment of love, a moment of suffering, a moment of inspiration, a moment of injustice, a moment of freedom, a moment of banality, or a message to the world. Plan your moment. Or don’t. Whatever you want. All we ask is that you shoot your photograph at the right moment.

After the Moment occurs, you’ll be able to upload your photo, location, and a short story to our website www.WorldwideMoment.org where you can view the results as they’re submitted.

Your photographs will help educate the world about culture, race, gender, government, and how possible it is for us to achieve peace. We’ll also use the photos to create books and gallery exhibits in order to raise funds and awareness for international philanthropy, arts, and educational groups.

To see Worldwide Moment’s 2009 exhibit of 1,200 simultaneous photographs from 70 countries visit our Gallery. To pledge to participate in 2010’s Worldwide Moment and receive updates join our mailing list.

Worldwide Moment is a way for us to learn from each other. Share with each other. Connect with each other. Become inspired by each other. Create together. Close the door on fear and ignorance. And shine some light on how similar we are.

Whether amateur or professional, film or digital, Polaroid or camera phone, young or old, this is for EVERYONE. All you have to do is take a photograph at the right Moment.

Thank you for your support! We hope you’ll join us!
