How does a family look?

There are as many answers as there are modern families. While families have always been diverse, the increasing acceptance of that diversity has allowed more people to be seen and heard.

With this creative brief, we welcome imagery that openly and accurately depicts the modern family in all its multifaceted splendor. These images gather and celebrate families of every background: parents, children, and every person, relative, or loved one contributing to the love and care of a household.

Mixing tradition

——————

Families that bring together differing ethnic, cultural, or religious backgrounds, or immigrate from different lands, turn the home into a site of diverse cultural learning and growth through passed-down traditions, blended holidays, and everyday activities.

More than two

——————

Family groups beyond nuclear: multigenerational households where grandpa, auntie, cousins and siblings all share space; polyamorous triads, quads or more; extended collectives of friends and chosen family.

Welcoming life

——————

More ways of caring for family are being increasingly accepted. Family might mean unions of any gender, traditional pregnancy, adoption, IVF, or surrogacy. There’s also space for imagery of child-free families, or families who have experienced loss. Caregivers come in many forms, including single parents by choice, grandparents, or extended family members rearing children and providing care. These images explore the beautiful and bumpy road to parenthood from every angle.
