From September 21 to 22, our fifth annual Social Good Summit was held in New York City. Leaders in technology, business and social good came together to address the challenges our world faces and come up with solutions for the future.

Inspiring panels at the event covered topics ranging from millennials and sustainability to climate extremes.

To go along with the theme, we challenged Mashable readers to share photos of things they hope will still exist in the year 2030. From flowers and bees to newspapers and ancient architecture, we saw a wide variety of submissions.

Scroll through our featured picks below, and check out all of the other submissions here. We'll announce our next Mashable Photo Challenge shortly.

1. The Le Monde newspaper

2. Tower church steeples

3. The Bridgeport covered bridge

4. Driving

5. Wild mustangs

6. Tigers

7. Drying clothes outdoors

Something rustic and appealing about drying clothes outside rather than using a machine #MashPics pic.twitter.com/uylRqHGUTm— Dave Wheeler (@dwheelerau) September 21, 2014

If bees cease to exist by 2030, will I lose both bagels AND orange marmalade? #mashpics @mashable pic.twitter.com/FvlQFrDJfC— Imrän Ajmain (@ImranAjmain) September 21, 2014
