Teen Lens
Through My Teenage Lens
A Discover Design 2025 Competition
An initiative by The Design Venue
What is “Teen Lens”?​
​
Teen Lens is not your typical photography contest. It’s your chance to freeze-frame the
raw, unfiltered chaos of teenage life—and show the world what it really looks like.
We’re not after perfection. We’re after your story.
The one that spills from your cluttered desk, sneaker shelf, chai breaks, mirror selfies, gang hangouts, guitar jams, late-night texts, and that messy, magical world you call teenhood. So zoom in. Snap away. Curate a visual story that reflects your vibe, your chaos, your tribe.
Who can participate?
-
Students of Grades 9, 10, 11, and 12
-
Individual participants only​​​
​​
THE TASK
Submit a collage of 3 to 5 photos that reflect real moments from your teenage life. Pair each photo with a caption as if it’s an Instagram post, expressing your vibe, humor, or insight. Tell your story through images and words, sharing what makes your teenage world one of a kind​​
​
