Celebrate World Photography Day 2026 – Share Your Photograph

World Photography Day is celebrated every year on 19 August, bringing together photographers from around the world to capture and share a moment in time.

To mark World Photography Day 2026, the RPS Digital Imaging Group is inviting all RPS members to contribute a single photograph to our online gallery.

This year's theme is: "People at Work"

Whether you're at home or travelling, we'd love to see your interpretation of the theme. The only requirement is that your photograph must be taken on 19 August 2026.

How to take part

• Take one photograph on Wednesday 19 August 2026.

• The image should reflect the theme People at Work.

• Upload your image between 18 August (to accommodate members for whom 19 August begins earlier than in the UK) and 25 August 2026 using the PollUnit link below.

• Images should be less than 5 MB.

• Please title your image and include your name (and RPS Distinctions if you wish them to appear in the gallery).

• Please provide your email address when uploading.

Feel free to 'like' photographs you enjoy. Likes are simply a way of appreciating fellow members' work - this is not a competition, and there are no winners or awards. Instead, it is a celebration of World Photography Day and an opportunity to create a worldwide gallery showing how RPS members interpret the same theme on the same day.

The gallery will remain open throughout the upload period, so you'll be able to enjoy photographs as they are added.

We look forward to seeing your view of People at Work on World Photography Day.
