A warm thank you to all the participants of the photography contest dedicated to “The Canticle of the Creatures”! We are thrilled with the extraordinary response we received from all over the world: more than 5000 photographs, including single photos and portfolios, the result of the passion and sensitivity of 650 photographers.

Your participation, so numerous and full of inspiration, testifies to the profound connection that still unites us today to the message of Saint Francis: a hymn to creation, to universal fraternity and to respect for every form of life.

Each image and each portfolio has been able to interpret, with originality and talent, the beauty and harmony of creation.

Now the selection phase begins. We invite you to stay tuned to our channels to discover the authors whose works will be selected for publication in the photographic volume.

Subsequently, the authors selected for the exhibitions will be announced: at the Palazzo Frumentario in Assisi, from September 1st – World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation – until September 21st, 2025, and at the XII edition of the Trieste Photo Days 2025 – International Photography Festival (October 24-26) that will host the official presentation of the volume and the awards ceremony for the best photographs.

Thanks again for sharing your art and your vision with us!
