In 2017, the world’s population hit an estimated 7.5 billion — during the 20th century alone, it grew from 1.65 billion to 6 billion. With so many people living on Earth’s 197 million-square-foot surface, we’re bound to have an infinite number of interpretations of the word, fun.
Agora, a website where shutterbugs from around the world compete in various contests, hosted a challenge where photographers were to capture their best images of fun and happiness. The images uploaded for this contest feature people and animals from all over the world having the time of their lives.
Check out this gallery of photographs centered around the idea of having fun, and for more of Agora’s photography contests, visit the website below. Part of a series.
