Ten Photos to Shake the World (TPSW) is a photography contest organized by ASSIST, a pan-Asian nonprofit headquartered in the Philippines. The 2026 edition, "Volunteers in Frame," marks the International Volunteer Year for Sustainable Development (IVY 2026) by inviting photographers to document volunteers and the work they do in their communities.

The contest is open to professional and amateur photographers in the Philippines, Vietnam, India, Indonesia, and Thailand. Entries are accepted until November 20, 2026, and go through two stages of judging: an internal screening, followed by review from an external panel. Winners will be announced in December 2026, in line with International Volunteer Day.

Through TPSW, ASSIST aims to make volunteer contributions more visible and to encourage more people across Asia to take part in volunteering.
