What does ‘place’ mean to you, and what does it mean to belong to a community? How has your understanding of place and belonging changed over time?
In recognition of March 21st International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, North Shore Immigrant Inclusion Partnership (NSIIP) and the Centre for Diversity and Innovation (CDI) invites you to tell your story of place and belonging through original photography.
Select works will be printed and displayed for exhibition at the North Vancouver City Hall to celebrate March 21 International Day of Elimination of Racial Discrimination. A digital reel of ALL submitted works will be displayed at municipal halls across the North Shore!
The contest builds on the North Shore Community Conversation Series, where more than 60 newcomers and long-time residents shared their aspirations for inclusive communities. In honour of these conversations, this photo contest aims to turn up the volume on diverse and intersectional voices in our North Shore community.
To participate, submit up to a maximum of 3 photos that capture your moments of belonging. Selected number of entries will be displayed at the North Vancouver City Hall and other community spaces over a 3-weeks period in recognition of the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.
