How many times have we all looked at a picture and interpreted it differently from a tiny description that gives words to the image. One Frame Stories, an initiative by Bench Media, is an online platform that encourages people, from all walks of life, to write and share their perspectives.

How it works?
A new photograph is posted on the website every Friday, based on which one can write a story or express one's views about it in the less than 99 words. The story has to be in English and has to submitted before the next Friday. The team at One Frame Stories then evaluates the stories based on the submission criteria. Selected stories for each frame are published the next Friday.
