Faith

Deadline: June 31st 2026

As we age, spirituality often becomes more central. Faith can offer meaning and a way to make sense of life. How do the elders around you express their beliefs through ritual, sacred spaces, or personal alternatives? We’re interested in faith in its broadest sense.

Ageless
Deadline: August 31st 2026

It’s often said that age is just a number, and that aging is a state of mind as much as a physical process. How do older people in your part of the world age well? These stories will examine what helps people maintain a high-quality life and how that might differ across the globe.
