Welcome to the third annual SIAMA Picture Perfect Contest! This year, we’re inviting you to capture the essence of your incredible journeys and the impactful work you do in a whole new light. We’re thrilled to launch our 2025 challenge with a theme that truly resonates with the spirit of global service and exploration.

Earlier this year, we invited our incredible community to brainstorm themes for our annual photo challenge. We were absolutely blown away by the beautiful and inspiring submissions we received!

After much deliberation, one theme truly stood out, perfectly capturing the spirit of mission and humanitarian work. We’re thrilled to announce the winning idea comes from Patrick) O’Loughlin (Lighthouse Church with the captivating theme: “Into the Wild.”

Get ready to explore, capture, and share your unique perspectives on what “Into the Wild” means in the context of your journeys. Congratulations, Patrick, and thank you to everyone who participated!

“Into the Wild” isn’t just about nature—it’s about stepping into the unknown. For this contest, we want to see photos that represent the adventurous, sometimes challenging, side of your missionary and humanitarian work. Show us what it looks like to venture into uncharted territory, whether it’s a remote village, a rugged landscape, or a new cultural experience. This theme is about courage, exploration, and the spirit of going where you are most needed.

What to capture: Remote locations, journeys off the beaten path, and moments that show the perseverance and adventurous spirit of your work.

This theme challenges you to share photos that embody the spirit of adventure, the raw beauty of untouched landscapes, and the profound connections made in the remote and untamed places where you serve. Whether it’s a breathtaking natural vista, a moment of resilience in a challenging environment, or the vibrant life found off the beaten path, we want to see your unique perspective on what “Into the Wild” means in the context of your missionary and humanitarian work.
