If you've just discovered 100,000,000 (100M), here's a quick introduction to how it all works.

The idea is simple: we're building a collection of 100 million photographs, each accompanied by one original message from the person who contributed it.

Everyone has something worth sharing.

📸 How to take part

1. Create your account

Visit https://100000000.photos and register for a free account.

2. Choose your photograph

Select a photograph that means something to you. It could be a portrait, a special place, a meaningful moment, or something that represents your story.

You'll be able to adjust and confirm your square crop.

3. Write your message

You have up to 1,000 characters to share whatever you'd like the world to know.

It could be something inspirational, personal, thoughtful, funny, or simply a message that matters to you.

4. Submit for review

Every contribution goes through moderation before it can be accepted.

5. Complete your participation

Once approved, the normal participation fee is $1 USD.

For a limited time, our Reddit community can participate for free using the promotional code REDDITFREE.

6. Become part of the collection

Once everything is completed and your contribution is published, you'll receive your own permanent photograph number.

Your photograph and message become part of the public 100M Gallery, where visitors can discover, read, translate and share messages.

🌎 Explore the collection

You don't need an account to browse the Gallery.

Discover photographs from different countries, read original messages, translate them into your preferred language, and explore the growing collection.

The question behind everything we do is simple:

What is your message to the world?

We'd love to hear what you think of the idea!

Participation is for adults aged 18 and over. All submissions are subject to approval. Promotional codes are subject to their stated validity and terms.

We're just getting started with r/Project100M, and we'd love your input on what this community could become.

100M is built around a simple idea: one person, one photograph, one original message.

But there's a lot more we can explore together beyond the collection itself.

We're thinking about sharing interesting Gallery discoveries, behind-the-scenes development updates, photography discussions, community ideas, and eventually highlights from 100M Live.

What would make this community interesting enough for you to keep coming back?

Would you prefer project updates, community discussions, featured photographs and stories, or something completely different?

All suggestions are welcome. We're particularly interested in hearing what you'd enjoy rather than simply posting announcements.
