That call was answered as over 15,000 photographs were submitted to the contest, with a top 50 selected by Agora, from which its members will vote on a winner. From the contemplative to the whimsical, these sublime images capture a thoroughly unique moment in history. Geographical, cultural, and linguistic differences disappear as people from all corners of the globe share similar experiences.
