Worldwide Moment | 09.09.09+09GMT@09

Worldwide Moment is a not-for-profit simultaneous photography event to create international peace, art, and cultural awareness. Everyone is welcome to participate by taking a photograph of their world at the moment of 10.10.10@10:10AM GMT.

Your photographs will help educate the world about culture, race, gender, government, and how possible it is for us to achieve peace.

When the moment is Sunday at October 10, 2010 at 10:10AM in the Greenwich Mean Time Zone simply take a photograph of your world. Check your time here.

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.

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.

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.

After the Moment has passed you will be able to upload your photo and story to www.worldwidemoment.org.

Everyone's photos and stories will be collected and exhibited online. We also intend to publish a book and create a gallery exhibit of all the photos and stories as well. Join our mailing list for more details on exhibits!
