The moon leaves its quiet presence not only high in the night sky, but also across streets on the way home and beside hushed windows. The pale shadows cast by moonlight, reflections unraveling across the water, and light diffused through clouds invite us to revisit familiar landscapes as though they belonged to a slightly different hour.
With this in mind, we are launching a hashtag challenge featuring 〈#moon〉!
Share your creations with #moon
Look beyond a single frame dominated by the moon itself. Turn your attention to moonlit streets, windows where light still lingers, water at night, a figure in profile, or someone walking. Consider the commanding presence of a full moon, the faint contour of a slender crescent, or light reaching through the clouds.
All genres are welcome, including landscapes, nightscapes, street photography, portraits, and travel photography. Create a photograph that captures the “landscapes of night and everyday life connected by moonlight” that you have discovered.

Moonlit photographs hold a sense of space that allows us to imagine even the sounds of the night: footsteps along a deserted road, a car moving in the distance, or wind gently stirring the surface of the water. Seek to preserve these invisible traces by capturing not only the place where you photograph, but also the time you spend standing still.
Even on nights when the moon cannot be seen, the faint light lingering on buildings, clouds, or figures can guide you toward a landscape for 〈#moon〉.
