This month, we’re focusing on chosen families. A chosen family is a non-biological bond that people choose for both mutual support and love. Whether it’s your ride-or-die crew or your unconventional living situation, we want to see what your chosen family looks like. So, if you’ve got authentic photos, videos, or artistic renditions that scream “chosen family,” we want them all! Don’t forget to ensure your models sign the model release form before uploading your content. Let’s celebrate the beauty of chosen families together!

Photos
We are looking for photos and AI-generated images that portray chosen families in various settings! Candid, diverse shots are trending, and you may want to include copy space, as it increases the usability of your images. Don’t forget to include relevant keywords, such as diverse family, modern family, chosen family and diverse representation in your metadata for maximum discoverability, and avoid including brands on clothing/shoes/accessories. When creating AI-generated images, ensure that only flawlessly rendered and distortion-free images are submitted to meet our high standards of quality.
Videos
Show us your best footage that celebrates chosen families and representations of unconditional love and support from non-biological connections. We want you to capture videos of people proudly showing off their meaningful connections and special moments celebrating their loved ones. Your footage should look cinematic and engaging, both in terms of color usage and composition. We recommend opting for medium close-ups, POV and tracking shots. Consider using a tripod or gimbal to keep your shots steady and to avoid any camera shake. Please also remember that before you start filming, you should take some time to warm up so that the people you’re filming are relaxed and comfortable with being in front of the camera.
Vectors
Show us your creative ideas for vector images for chosen families in various settings. This theme is very versatile, and can be applied to everything from mockup displays and social media story templates to icons, backgrounds, and various character story drawings. We are looking for both flat and isometric vectors that feature modern diverse families. Don’t forget to include relevant keywords, such as diverse family, modern family, chosen family and diverse representation in your metadata for maximum discoverability.
