To highlight the diversity and strength of our community, “The Immigrant Story” (theimmigrantstory.org), along with Pro Photo Supply (prophotosupply.com) is hosting a photography contest to address an issue that is prevalent in our country today: xenophobia. The contest, open through April 30, 2018, welcomes submissions of photographs that depict the stories of immigrants who have added to our diverse cultural landscape.
Through visual stories of immigrants, whether first generation, second or 10th, we see the hopes and dreams that we all share for ourselves and our families and the things that bind us as a community and a nation.
A final selection of photos will be made in May and will be exhibited at Pro Photo Supply in June 2018. There will be a community event at Pro Photo with speakers from different cultural community groups. A selection of photos will also be shared on social media and online by Pro Photo Supply and by The Immigrant Story.
This event is partnered by more than a dozen local community organizations and supported by local city government entities. For more information and to submit entries, please visit our website at theimmigrantstory.org/our-strength.
