MoonThroughMy Lens
Every lens finds a different Moon. Show us yours.
A single photograph can tell a beautiful story
Point your lens at the Moon — any device, any night — and share the unique story it evokes.
Fiction or non-fiction — what matters is that both the photograph and the words are yours. Observe the Moon through your own lens, and tell us your side of the story.
How it works
Shoot
Capture an original photograph of the Moon using whatever setup you have, whether that is a phone steadied against a railing, a DSLR on a tripod, or a dedicated telescope rig.
Write
Pair your image with a story it stirs up. It can be a memory, a feeling you cannot quite name, a fiction you imagined, or a factual story. A few honest paragraphs are all it takes.
Submit
Send your photograph and story together through the official form before August 19. One entry per participant, so make sure it is the one you are most proud of.
- 01The photograph must be clicked by you — one original photo of the Moon, taken on any device.
- 02AI-generated images, edited digital artwork, or images taken from the internet or any other source will not be accepted.
- 03The story can be fiction or non-fiction, and must be your own writing — your thoughts, emotions, memories, or imagination.
- 04Submit the photograph and story together through the official submission form.
- 05Results will be announced on 20 August 2026 during the National Space Day celebrations at UPES. The top three winners will be awarded Amazon vouchers worth ₹1,000, ₹800, and ₹600 respectively.
