Summer has officially arrived and with the excitement of sunny weather comes great explorations. This summer we have a new contest for our Staff, Volunteers, Clients and Friends. With photography and poetry take a voyage through what homelessness, street life and the DI means to you and share these journeys with us.
The journeys are endless. The possibilities are endless. You can combine the photograph and poetry into one or submit separately.
For example you can take a photograph and be inspired to write a poem along with it or write a poem and take a photo that represents your words:
if You are Home,
and he, too, is home to You?
Can it be
that Home’s a place
where he and I meet,
in You?
Help us, Lord;
Help us each
to find our Home in You.
For more examples on how to combine the power of poetry & photography visit: contemplativephotographer.blogspot.com
The rules are as follows:
1. Download the applicable release form here
2. Explore the city and your inner thoughts
3. Ask permission of those who will be in the photograph
4. Have release form signed
5. Then submit and vote
Prizes!
1st place victory will receive a really cool, yet to be determined prize and 2nd and 3rd place will receive a copy of Elizabeth Fayts bestselling book, Paving It Forward.
